Selected Publications

• Stephen F. Wheeler (1985). A performance benchmark of the alpha-beta procedure on randomly ordered non-uniform depth-first game-trees generated by a chess program. M.Sc. thesis, East Texas State University, Abstract from Literature Received, ICCA Journal, Vol. 10, No. 1, pp. 43: A search of technical literature was performed to determine the research done to date with regard to the Alpha-Beta algorithm, and to ascertain the results obtained. Modifications were made to the author's chess program to report Alpha-Beta pruning statistics to be used for an empirical evalution of the algorithm's performance as compared to the unaided Minimax tree search algorithm.
