What Go program is this?

Hi 
As I've created some previously non-existing builds of some Go engines (64-bit Pachi, Fuego and Gnu Go for Windows), I was looking into setting up a small website to host them, and information about other free/open source Go software. While looking for a name, I found the site http://www.igosoft.com; some German guy who runs a private Go tournament on his home computer. There's a picture there that looks like this:
Anyone seen this program before?
I'm wondering if this really is a Go program, because it looks like the older Chessbase Fritz interface. I own Fritz11, and I can set it up to look like that, or at least very, very similar, except with chessboards in place of the Go boards. I'm suspecting this picture might be photoshopped, because it shows a distinct Chessbase/Fritz feature: the four-way clock. In Fritz, it looks like this:
The logo's to the left and right of the clock can be disabled to make the window smaller. Disable the Fritz logo, and the clock looks exactly like the one in that Go program. This is either an older Chessbase/Fritz GUI, photoshopped to look like a Go program, or it is a real program that copies the look and feel of Chessbase one to one, at least at first glance.
What do you think; anybody know this program?
