Yes that's why I gave you a direct link to my comment. But the confusion is 
probably my fault, because I failed to mention that you have to press the 
spoiler button to see the solution (When I see a button I press it, so I didn't 
think about it. In that regard I'm no different to my 14 Month old son…)

To be more specific I think a correction could look like this:

 x . x x . x 9 6 .
 . x o o x 8 5 4 7
 x o o x x 1 o 3 x
 x o x x . 2 x x o
 . o x o x x o o o
 o o o o x o o . o
 o x o x . x o o .
 . x o x x x o o .
 x . x . x x o . o


In round 6 AyaMC played the move above against Fuego9. SGF. This looks hopeless 
for White because his left group has only two liberties. But when black played 
4 he suffers a damezumari himself and he gets only a Seki and therefore losing 
the game.

 x 7 x x 5 x 1 2 6
 9 x o o x a 8 4 3
 x o o x x o o o x
 x o x x . x x x o
 b o x o x x o o o
 o o o o x o o . o
 o x o x . x o o .
 . x o x x x o o .
 x . x . x x o . o

The correct but difficult to find move for black would have been 1 which makes 
miai of 2 and 3 creating another damezumari, this time for white, since he can 
not approach at a before black plays b.

Now that we already spend so much time on an old game it would be interesting 
to know if the current programs can get this right?

Thanks,

David
