Subject: Insight Into Inner Workings of Alpha/Beta

Author: Bob Durrett

In  http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?350711, Christophe Theron
made the fascinating and thought-provoking observation that:


"Conceptually, an alpha-beta search is doing several thousands takebacks per
second."


I do not doubt that this is true.  However, I've never heard the alpha/beta
described quite that way.

Could somebody please relate this to the more conventional concept of
alpha/beta?
