My intuition suggests that b) is the better approach, but I know that a) works much better in computer chess.
Does anyone know why a works much better in computer chess? Does the benefits of a correct guess (and thinking more deeply than the opponent) outweigh the benefits of having a little bit of extra thought about the move they chose? I think I've heard that chess has a branching factor of 8. In special scenarios where the (1-ply) branching factor is lower, does the best choice change?
