Such plays that "almost work" are often played as ko threats. I'm not
sure if you get enough samples of these patterns though; and the
opponent might tenuki from the play often to connect the ko, I'm not
sure if that helps you either.
I think this is one reason why people seem to often include some sample
of lower-level games during pattern learning.
