I know SE often is wrong, but this was a new twist.
Notice the almost complete lack of territory for either player.
For reference, here's what they usually look like.

Guess it's because it identified the two groups in the middle as a seki, and there are no points in a seki. Whole board seki

Perhaps it did. Seki is a pretty fantastic conclusion for the lower left corner, or the vast black area just above.

Getting the status of the both white groups on the bottom wrong is a nice touch.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Not only that. Only two points which it assigned actually were points.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Yeah, seems like if its strange idea of L&D gets extra confused it then just declares everything in the vicinity neutral. I just got that yesterday while running through some variations in a ongoing DGS game. Whoohoo! It's a tie! Bruce "Cheater" Young

Getting the L+2 group wrong is a nice touch.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

biggest SE swing in 1 turn (white peeping in the center and black connecting)
Black just gained well over 400 points in this exchange

Would make an interesting problem for "biggest move on the board"

This is not a bug, but a translation.
B => Blanc => White
N => Noir => Black.
So when I see B+xx I always need to check what is the language used.

Well, that's less interesting.
