Just as a caveat, keep in mind that alpha-beta is only guaranteed to not affect the result if the rest of your search is completely deterministic. While that's a good first order approximation to the truth, it's rarely actually true in anything as complex as a Go program.
To paraphrase Don Rumsfeld, you alpha-beta prune your tree based on the evaluations you got, not the evaluations you wish you had. ;) Lars Nilsson _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
