It sounds like I just need to get a little better grasp of what all of this stuff means. IE I know what a fail-high/fail-low is, but what additional information does a fail-high/fail-low imply? That is the kind of information I would like to be able to learn. I would like to be able to understand the basics of this subject so I could better understand other aspiration search, when you need to re-search, other methods like MTD(f), etc. What is the general subject area I should look into? Aspriation search? Or is this simpler alpha-beta stuff? What is a good resource for learning about this kind of stuff? Books, academic papers, websites, anything. I'm sure these topics have been covered before, since there are many who are knowledgable about them. Besides, I'm sure I would do better to be able to stand on my own with this subject matter, rather than asking question after question about the tiny details. Any help is appreciated :)
