- In turn 104, it was our turn, but we only had a single choice. This was sowing the last seed from hard.
- In turn 105, we were still predicting 87.02 for "nativists" which must be the no-op because it's the only legal with a single word.
- In turn 106, we had to no-op again, but our score had dropped to 50.25. It looks like we were surprised by GreenShell's decision (on the previous turn) to pick from p3. We were expecting "consenting neurotics" - which, apart from being amusing, I think is pick p2. However, because it was an opponent play, we don't have scores to see how close a call it was.
- In turn 107 we had a choice.
- From moves 109 to 134, we were convinced our score was going to be 50.00 even though we didn't think the tree was complete. We didn't have any choices during this period. (Even on our turn, we only had 1 pit with any seeds in.) However, still odd that (a) it a was a round number and (b) it didn't budge for many moves.
- At turn 135, the score dropped to 0.28 and then gradually fell to nothing.
- In turn 165, 4 out of 5 choices were a complete loss.
- In turn 167, the tree was a complete loss (at depth 102).
- Something happened between the end of turn 170 and the end of 171 which caused the completion depth to drop from 99 to 34.
- Completion depth was then a bit erratic until the end of the game in turn 204.

We lost this match of Kalaha 6x2x4. Local logs (not uploaded because they're too large) showed an expected score of ~80 up to about half way through the game. Then came a "surprising move" (virtually all of the node pool freed, score immediately drops to 50). A little while later, our expected score dropped to 0 and remained there.
I note that GreenShell's logs are the inverse of ours. Its score decreased down to <20 then suddenly jumped up 50. So the surprising move surprised both of us.
