Subject: minmax

I did read in crafty's source code that minmax is used to determine if a piece
is attacked or not.
My question actualy is if you block this option on a to early point,
you handicap the program and is it for this reason why 0-0-0 is not played by
programs in the game Nimzowitsch- Alapin
Also if you play quick games or tournament games the threath of capture should
lay on an other valeu.
Also with  new faster hardware this kind of search is to my point of vieuw more
a handicap then a solution

Ofcourse I am not a programmer yet but this where questions wich came up when I
did read about this min-max search.

I am verry intrested i your answers.
