[computer-go] How come Gnu managed to lose to indigo?



Hello,

 

Any plausibel explanation why GnuGo lost to indigo in 2004 Computer Olympiad? I played quickly (well I played quickly, not the indigo) and I was able to pull about 120 pt win against it. While with Gnu Go I occasionally lose to it but usesually win by 20-30 points?

 

Gnu Go is much stronger than indigo tactically. And even in "WholeBordVision" it does better job. Indigo allows it groups to be enclosed far too easily.  So is ther some plausible explanation. Like Gnu Go is too passive and does not get advantage it deserves because it does not challenge its' lesser abled opponet into a fight?.

 

Just Curios. Are there other similar odd pairs where styles do match. Like Go++ coud be one such oppponent. It player veryt terrotiry oriented game that can hard to match by a computer opponent.
