I mean that the full game is a shape, not just a local part.
It’s almost symmetrical and created by playing a real game of go.

That’s an interesting shape! Black is alive, but white has infinitely many ko-threats (unless black “wastes” a move at some point to remove the double ko shape).

Whole-board symmetry (more or less): @Jakobb (B) vs 7k

This big false eye is one of the problems in the book Diabolical, spotted in Yeonwoo’s video.
White needs two moves to make this eye real, due to oi-otoshi.

I know I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of this video but I keep seeing new things I want to post.
Here’s a B2 bomber in a 4-4 joseki:

Not from a game, but I thought this problem (or rather its solution 
) belonged here:
Black to play and save all the black stones!
(demo board)
Solution
Just look at that beautiful shape
The rest of the solution sequence is just as pretty:
Black lives in double ko!
This problem is from here (scroll up a bit), and no variations other than the one above are shown. As far as I can tell, it’s possible for black to live without double ko, at the cost of sacrificing the outside:
I suppose it’s unlikely that this would be better in a real game (it would have to be a situation where black can’t afford to give white a ko threat factory), but that’s why I specified “save all the black stones” in the problem caption, so that the B2 bomber is the unambiguous only solution

Is a double B2 a B4?

No, it’s Rectangular Pacman.
Or, as in this case, the Envelope.
