Alpha-Beta cutoff
- by Becky
I understand the basics of this search, however the beta cut-off part is confusing me, when beta <= value of alphabeta I can either return beta, break, or continue the loop.
return beta doesn't seem to work properly at all, it returns the wrong players move for a different state of the board (further into the search tree)
break seems to work correctly, it is very fast but it seems a bit TOO fast
continue is a lot slower than break but it seems more correct...I'm guessing this is the right way but pseudocode on google all use 'break' but because this is pseudocode I'm not sure what they mean by 'break'
