Looks like it is an error in the Google translation program:
“Her name is Sumire, not Kaoru. Hard to distinguish kanji, 菫 and 薫.”

Japanese 5p resigning after running out laddered stones once and realizing his misread after their Chinese 3p opponent responded.

Black even dropped a great big clue there was the ladder by making the shoulder hit exchanges! “Oh I wonder why my opponent tenukid to the diagonally opposite corner in the middle of a complicated joseki? Nevermind, I’ll just assume they are being schizo and carry on as I planned”

The first and third links are the same, was there a different a third game you wanted to link?
The second link is my favorite, such a sneaky shape, I could easily see myself missing that!

Korean 9P “misclicks” in a real game and connects at the wrong spot
In case the link doesn’t work, it happened at 2:14:25.
White (Anh Kuk Hyun) finally had a chance to win by half a point in the end game after being behind for most of the game.
When white took the ko in the centre, black found an atari as a ko threat.
White intended to connect the stones in atari, but he mistakenly connected at an irrelevant neighbouring spot.
Black (Kim Myung Hun) was about to take back the ko when he realised that something was wrong. He was even about to press the clock without playing as if to allow white to “undo”.
Awkwardness ensured for about a minute before white decided to just resign.

Korean Pro plays self-atari when playing dame and loses a winning game
In case the timestamp doesn’t work, it starts around 3:55:10.
And the worse thing is this was a team match and this loss caused the team to not be able to go into the next round.
Hope the guy is okay…

I love the honesty on the opponent’s face, a whirlwind of " 
".

I think that’s the normal reaction when you see this kind of moves lol. Not like the other guy who just takes the stones immediately as if he was expecting it

He was probably just expecting to have to answer white’s next move, since white had sente. Like if white plays the atari at the bottom. Probably not expecting to take the stones I imagine.

Sorry, not familiar with this format. Not seeing the self-atari move in the two images, and not able to find the video.
It’s linked right after the images.
It’s actually 3:37:50, I also fixed the timestamps in the URL for you 
Thanks, wow. The referee really reacted.
