The evaluation of the position which arises after making the move 'move' from a given root position. OTOH "eval(move) is true" doesn't make sense then. :) >what is max? Good question :) >what is ->? 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! :) Sargon
