Score Estimator (SE) is notorious for being buggy.

This issue has been known for some time.

SE was programmed to work with Japanese rules. Use of rules with a different scoring system confuse it. AGA rules were used in the game in question.

Fortunately, the score tool, which is used for the official scoring, works.
