What changed
Move-generation routines, position evaluation and fixed-depth versus selective continuations make limited-computation game search an explicit programming design.
Scientific scope
Move-generation routines, position evaluation and fixed-depth versus selective continuations make limited-computation game search an explicit programming design. The paper is a programming and search proposal. It does not report a strong implemented player, solve chess or guarantee that heuristic evaluation and selective search select the best move.
