The evaluation of the position which arises after making the move 'move' from a

Good question :)

He probably means the symbol that you use for limits: n->inf, n goes towards
infinity. Can't explain it better, sorry :)


>what is P()?

Probably the probability, which returns a value [0, 1].


>what is ply?

Now, _this_ term you know, I'm sure! :)
