I'm only worried that my questions may be so fundamental that it doesn't belong here. =) I have seen Bruce's site before. I would like to learn slowly myself by asking silly questions and doing it the brute force way. ie. Implementing minimax before alpha/beta.. then noting the speedup/efficiency of one over the other etc. IMO its all part of the learning. I'm only hoping I can leverage on the vast experience here to give me a helping hand. Cheers, Steve.
