No, "igo" is the full Japanese word for the game of Go, so it appears
in many Go program names.
KCC Igo is from North Korea, and has also had the names "Silver Star"
and "Silver Igo". Early versions were allegedly plagiarized from
HandTalk.
AI Igo is a Japanese product which uses Many Faces' engine, just as
iGo Sensei is a Mac OS X program which uses Many Faces' engine.

Are there different versions of Igo? KCC Igo, AI Igo? If so is Igo and
open source engine that is being used as a base for others?
Congrats though!

The list price in Japan is closer to $100 than $39.
This is my Japanese product (AI Igo version 15):
http://www.ifour.co.jp/product/aiigo15/ and you can see it lists
for 13,440
yen (about $110). The other strong programs have similar prices.
His
royalty is more than $1 per copy.
Since Go4++ hasn't participated in a competition recently, it's
probably not
#1. KCC Igo is the best, based on Gifu results.
