This section presents the game records of 9 × 9 Go with full annotation. The best moves in these games were checked by KataGo (v1.12.4; b18nbts550; >200 visits per move) run on iPhone 11 Pro Max (iOS 15.5) with A Master of Go (v6.0.1). KataGo is the strongest superhuman 9 × 9 Go player at the time of this study. A much weaker version of KataGo (KataTest) topped the chart of Go Quest in 2019, which was undefeated in the 93-game experiment and has been the only invincible on Go Quest.
