At move 66 W plays K5 instead of defending four stones at K6.
I take it that GNU Go is W.

In this case K5 is the correct move. If B captures
and W recaptures at J6, B has 2 points of territory at G7
and G6, four captures while W has one capture. So B gets
5 points out of this exchange. But the bottom is sealed. 

If W connects at K6, B can push through at K5 and
the damage to W's territory is greater than 5 points.
