Why Did White Win?

I am playing black.
I put a lot of effort into winning the game. However, the system suggests that I had lost by 16.5 points and counted the lower left white group to be living???

There are some serious issues.

Does anyone have any ideas or similar experiences?

Either you need to mark then as dead in the scoring phase or if it’s a bot game you need to play more moves to be clear that what’s dead is dead.

Hi @13521497617. The score estimator didn’t recognize the middle white group as dead. Since the estimator sometimes misjudges status, we rely on the players to correct the status by clicking, control clicking, and shift clicking on the stones until it is correct. That didn’t happen here.

Moderators can’t change the result, but I did annul the game so that it won’t affect your rating.
