Hi,
I’ve started learning Go and I’m having fun playing it!
I have a quick question about the end position in this game: jkelava6 vs. Go4C
After the double pass, my opponent and I couldn’t agree whether my (black) bottom right group was alive. I kept claiming that it was alive, they kept claiming it was dead. From what I understand (and AI score seems to agree with me I think?) I was right, but just wanted to double check?
And generally,
what should I do in a situation where I can not agree with an opponent about a certain group of stones being dead or alive, but I do not want to make a move other than passing (and same for opponent)?

Yeah, that’s how it looks to me as well!
But opponent wouldn’t agree.
All I can do is disagree / pass. And we both do the same and game keeps on going indefinitely?
I real life you call the tournament director, or punch your opponent in the face walk calmly away saying “whatever” 
In online go, you can call a moderator, then also walk away.
If your assessment was correct, the game will be annulled - slightly sad for your win, but not the end of the world. If not, your opponent was supposed to win anyhow.

I recommend that you first tell your opponent the position is seki (mutual life), which is how the Autoscore scored it, and then refer them to Seki at Sensei's Library.
