Subject: MINMAX verses ALPHA-BETA

Author: Larry Griffiths

Date: 17:20:48 01/19/99


I ran my program with Alpha-Beta and without Alpha-beta.
The scores and moves chosen were different.

Is this normal for Alpha-Beta or is this an indication of an
error in my implementation of Alpha-Beta pruning?



Also, The time is 1052.58 seconds without Alpha-Beta
and 3.3 seconds with Alpha-Beta.

What ratio of elapsed time would indicate that I have achieved
good move ordering etc. with the Alpha-Beta pruning?
