Actually, when we talk about A.I., we are usually refering to "smart" decision
making, I'd say. If the options can be easily evaluated and all that remains to
be done is do a small alpha-beta search (e.g. Tic-tac-toe), it's is not often
regarded as AI, but machine-like operation. In chess you have to find a "smart"
compromise between extending and pruning so that your engine is not wasting its
time. Test an engine designed to be effective under "normal" circumstances by
giving it an extremely improbable test that it will never encounter proves
nothing!!!
