Yes... I do hope that more interest is sparked by this match. I had heard that one of the big guys from Deep Blue now works for MS Research in Asia. He had written a paper that I am sure most here have already read.. a title similar to "Cracking Go". I am sure he would be delighted by these results.
I would think that this game... particularly the jump in skill compared to time would show that these methods are potentially profitable. I also put an entry on senseis.xmp.net under Mogo as well as an entry on wikipedia in "computer go" under monte carlo methods. I also contacted the nihon kiin and the korean baduk association as I am sure they would be interested in this if they had not heard already. The more publicity.. the better chance there will be available funding in the future (or access to hardware). Certainly this match was a big victory for those trying to convince institutions with computer clusters to yield some time.
