Different, yes. "Very different", I am not sure.

> Martin didn't win just because he's a strong player.  He's a very smart guy.

Agreed.

But having a computer repeating his miracle will also
give progress in understanding computer go.

Ingo.

PS. In Summer 2009 I was able to achieve a small step in direction
of the h-29 goal: By a special dynamic komi procedure the new ManyFaces
bot beat level 1 of the old ManyFaces at 25 stones handicap.
