I think the algorithm is called MTD(f). It is a kind of alpha-beta, where always alpha == beta-1. To establish the real score of a move you do a kind of binary search for the score, using null-window-searches. But I don't know if AnMon uses MTD(f). >>I have no idea which algorithm this is, but would like to know about >>the stuff. >>Can we maybe discuss about it ?
