[Computer-go] Beating old ManyFaces at 29 handicap stones

[David Fotland]

I'll keep it up.  If it crashes and drops off let me know and I'll restart
it.

In 1998 this was the strongest level and played a game in 30 minutes on a
fast PC.  Now it plays almost instantly.  It might make beating it a little
harder.  It plays so fast, it leads the opponent to play fast too.
