Keep in mind that professionals are counting throughout the game, and are playing to win, not to win by a lot. So a 0.5 point victory may simply mean the victor was confident in their position and chose not to take unnecessary risks.

I follow professional go. It's true that you play safely when you're ahead, which narrows the margin, but .5 is still considered tightly fought.
