Now I’m pretty new to the game and scoring is a bit confusing. I have this app called BadukPop and something feels off with the scoring. Like can you have territory is you don’t encircle the area? Here is a screenshot of one game, me as white.
Boundaries are supposed to be closed for territory points to count. What that app is doing is to predict the probable scoring. The OGS score estimator does the same thing because it is only an estimate, but the autoscore, which gives the final score when it is working right, will leave unenclosed territory unscored.
Welcome to OGS!

The game is not finished. Each player should for example take as many points as they can in the center.
Besides there are a few doors to close in other parts of the board.
