I wondered if some programs prefer contact moves more? In which case the chances of them attaching to the central stone are higher. Ingo's example game against Many Faces shows how playing mirror go religiously to the end becomes suicidal. Are the people playing mirror go against Zen on KGS breaking off the mirroring before falling into these traps? (It can be late, e.g. black 161, filling the liberty of a group that doesn't have two eyes yet, was the obvious point to stop, but even playing black 163 at N11 would have been in time.)
