I looked at the report and would like to give my opinion on why the
programs played as they did in the commented game between Zen and Aya.
In the game white 106 threatens to capture the left side and most
importantly avoid the dangers of a huge semeai. If black does not play
111 the game is over without a fight. After white 112 at least black
has a chance that white blunders and get a seki or wins a semeai in the
center.
Saving the white group with 112 is only big if the black group dies.
But it must die - unless the white central group dies. And the white
central group can get out with n13, can't it?
Anyway, assuming you are right, may I quote you in my report?

Later on in the game white takes the ko at J11 for move 134 and after a
ko threat black captures the right side group but white get the big
left side for sure and a large endgame move at the bottom, for a clear
won position, which illustrates the one sided nature of this game after
move 105.
By the way the main meaning of 105 is to threaten the center white
group since if black tries to surround the white group white can
connect and live with all white stones with 105.
So in my opinion both programs played well moves 106-112. White simply
played forcing moves that defended a won position and black tried to
keep the game complex enough in order to have a possibility of winning.
