The experimental and theoretical validation of a new search algorithm, with a note on the automatic generation of causal explanation

An algorithm is presented for game-tree searching that is shown under fairly general but formally specifiable conditions to be more sparing of computational resource than classical alpha-beta minimax. The algorithm was programmed in POP-2 and compared experimentally with alpha-beta searching on rand...
