Cool 9x9 game - almost symmetrical territory!

WHY this game is cool:

butterfly territory shape (or say what shape do yo see using your imagination)

balanced score (white wins by 0.5)

rarely happens

the center point didn’t get filled by stone until end of the game!

From my experience the F6/4 E6/4 opening naturally tends to lead to close games. Especially if White mirrors the first two moves - filling the mentioned coordinates. Then it depends if white dares to make a aggressive move. If they do, its a 4 Group game, if not, a 2 group game.

Its always very complicated tho.
This game gave me the same vibes, althought it was played out a bit different in the opening than described above.

Stupid question: when stepping through this game, I’m distracted by the suggested main and alternative moves showed automatically in blue and green. How do to turn off these suggestions, please?

I think you want “disable AI review” in the side menu (or under the board on mobile)
