The min-max method was developed first, and essentially had one function which minimized the score, and another function that maximized the score. Negamax did essentially the same thing, but a lot more efficiently. Then Alphabeta came along, and modified the Negamax function. It does more or less the same thing, but a LOT more efficiently, by passing bounds around. I guess you could call it a variation of Negamax....in the same way you would call Kasparov just another chess player. I suggest you have a read through Bruce's site...his explanations are entertaining and very clear. I learned a ton from them. Hope that helps! Andrew
