That seems to be some games magazine. It gives a review of Go++ and 
GnuGo. They had a 6 Kyu and a 3 Dan play against them. The 6 Kyu 
estimated the strength of both programs at about 8 Kyu. Though Go++ 
seemed to be a bit better. The 3 Dan (who played his first games 
against a computer) had a preference for GnuGo: The good Joseki 
database and the tactical strength in narrow space. But problems with 
the "big picture". It seems he doesn't like the more "conservative" 
play of Go++ (as described in the article). But Go++ seems to be the 
better program for learning go. Then some bla bla about the interface. 
Could have been a bit more for 40$. gGo as GUI for GnuGo. The a short 
introduction to Go.

What they miss in Go++: Above all support for SGF
