Weaker vs. Stronger ~ GS vs. GG?

When stronger, you want complexity and can better tolerate being hit. At GG you want gammons and don't care about getting gammoned when you get hit. So there are some similarities. You will tend to not be afraid to bring down builders and you will not be as focused on making anchors that produce simple holding games. But I don't think you can generalize at all. For example, attacking and making deep points might frequently be better at GG, while slotting and priming and pure play might be better for complexity. In fact, I'd think any correlation will only tend to exist in the early to middle game when things are still very fluid. In many situations in the middle and late game the stronger player might tend to lean in exactly the other direction (GS) in order to avoid getting gammoned and risk losing many points at once to a weaker player; they'd much prefer to grind out the match one or two points at a time.
