Sure, its easy for strong bots :-) There are several ways to win in this position; no need to win the semeai. Even the J4 block can be traded for something like 2 points elsewhere (e.g., g4 & a6). To win Black should have played 31 at 34. I think Nick's suggestion (between 32 and 35) is bad because the White group in the upper right corner is already dead.
