I have a very novice program working without an alpha beta search. On the
surface, it looks like an alpha-beta search can miss a good sacrifice move.
It does may sense that an alpha-beta search will help speed the evaluation
of a tree of, say, 6 ply.
However, if there is a sacrifice on the sixth ply that does not gain
the material back until, for example, the 8th ply, won't the node be trimmed
when the sixth ply is evaluated and never have additional moves from that
node generated?
