A seki sharing thread

From a wbaduk 7d game (shared with kind permission by one of the players):

Three Kata games in a row – and in this one, we get two sekis! :slight_smile: Since there are an uneven amount of shared intersections, rather than a draw or +2 result, black wins this game by 1 point.

Unsure if it’s technically considered seki, but to me it’s functionally equivalent.
(RHS double ko. Nifty.)

This game ends with White creating a living group inside Black’s groups eye shape. Both Black and a fragment of White live in seki eventually. At the very end Black also has a choice where everything involved lives in seki.

That is an insane sequence and end result, wow!

Found this variation from my friend, here:

Isn’t white dead there? (After black A3).

Exactly

I eventually figured out that Black can kill one or the other side, but the other side gets an opportunity to live in either case.
