Subject: NegaScout v Alpha-Beta

Author: Steve Maughan

Date: 10:48:48 03/08/99

I have come across NegaScout and am wondering if it would be worth implementing
in my program.  I understand the principle but what is the payoff?  How many
extra ply (if any) would it give over a plain old Alpha Beta search?  Is it ever
slower than Alpha-Beta?  Does (virtually) everyone do it?

All help appreciated!
