Don't feel so bad. GnuBG is capable of crushing world-class human players and
is insanely good at optimising its positions. I have been playing it for years,
and only once have it beaten it in a 7-point match, something so rare, I
tweeted about it (I consider myself to be merely a reasonable club standard).
If you want to learn, use it to analyse your play after the match. I learned a
lot that way. I found the 6x6 temperature map especially enlightening.
If you want a more equal opponent, dial its intelligence down.
