Sorry, I somehow got the idea this game was played on KGS ...
obviously it wasn't.

I don't understand how B resigned since the boardsize is not 19x19.

This game does contain some pretty bad moves.

Black 8 looks OK to me. Even though there is a stone at D5
W cannot cut. (W:B4 would be answered by B:C5, not C4.)
After that, if W cuts at F5 B can give up one stone and
win on territory with two live groups.

10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 22 all look like bad moves. Maybe the
semeai code is at fault. I guess 16 is worth looking at first.
