I'm just a middling go player but I'd say yes, the two are quite comparable and rooted, at least partially, in a similar aspect: Alpha doesn't care about margin of victory, only probability of victory. This leads it to play a much more influence/position vs territory oriented style at times in go, occasionally shockingly so.
