I more that agree with what was said over. The best nodes per second account
program gives when it have only minimax logic. It goes down around three
times when alpha-beta method is installed in the same game. Nodes par
second acount is only good for giving some general idea about the game,
expecting that every game have almost the same logic pattern inside of it.
But how closed are the game in its inner structure? The best one. Can
somebody elucidate this for me?
