New lesson learned. It depends on the rule set if something is correct or a blunder. So far the Go-masters told me, it does not matter, its practically the same. Obviously its not. This is not some weired, constructed position, it really happened and it does not look strange at all.

Attached is an interesting testposition which occured in UCT-Suzie against Peter-Woitke. If black plays 37 c4 the game is lost by 0.5 points. If Black passes, white gets a lot of threats. Black can choose between a safe loss,

UCT-Suzie and the public domain version of Crazy-Stone played the save loss.

Seems like you're mixing up Territory and Area scoring. Under area
scoring rules the programs can strengthen their (final) position by
playing in their own territory. (Crazystone as Black would win under
Chinese rules)

The example illustrates why Japanese rules provide a slightly more
interesting endgame.
