9. O THER S EARCH T ECHNIQUES Null-Move heuristic generate a good lower bound on the value of a position, using a shallow search in which the opponent gets to move twice at the beginning the lower bound allows  -  pruning without the expense of a full-depth search 9

10. N ULL -M OVE F ORWARD P RUNING Instead of extending the search in hard positions, we reduce the search in easy positions Allow a chess program to experience a dramatic reduction in branching factor with some manageable risk of missing something important If I do nothing here, can the opponent do anything? Assumption Making a move will result in a higher score than not making a move, except in the endgame 10

11. N ULL -M OVE F ORWARD P RUNING ( CONT.-1) Before you generate any move, you do a reduced- depth search, with the opponent move first, even though it is usually not the best move If that search result in a score   (fail high), then the true best move is also likely to fail high, and you return  right away without searching any moves Idea You give the opponent a free shot at you, if your position is still so good that you exceed , you assume that you’d also exceed  if you went and searched all of your moves 11

12. N ULL -M OVE F ORWARD P RUNING ( CONT.-2) Reason of saving time The initial search is made with reduced depth R: depth reduction factor Rather than search all of your moves to depth D, you search all your opponent’s moves with a depth of D – R An excellent value of R is 2 Example If you were going to search all your moves to depth 6, you end up searching all of your opponent’s moves to depth 4 A practical speed up of a ply or two 12

13. N ULL -M OVE A LGORITHM 13 #define R 2 function A LPHA -B ETA -S EARCH ( depth, ,  ) returns an evaluation value if depth == 0 then return E VALUATE () if last move was not null and position is unlikely to be zugzwang then M AKE N ULL M OVE () v  – A LPHA -B ETA -S EARCH ( depth – 1 – R, – , –  + 1 ) U NMAKE N ULL M OVE () if v   then return  G ENERATE L EGAL M OVES () for each possible move do M AKE N EXT M OVE () v  – A LPHA -B ETA -S EARCH ( depth – 1, – , –  ) U NMAKE M OVE () if v   then return    M AX ( , v ) return  minimal window (  – 1,  )

14. T RICKS Minimal window To see if the score of the null-move search is beta or better If not, I don’t care how much worse than beta it is Use minimal window (  -1,  ) to get more cutoffs faster Note Null-move changes the result of the search, and may cause you to miss some important line of play 14

15. S HOULD N OT U SE N ULL -M OVE Null-move doesn’t work if the side to move is in check The degree allowed to happen recursively should be considered, since if you let several of them follow in a row, the search degenerates down to just returning the evaluation Not allow two null-move searches to occur without an intervening real move Allow exactly two null-move searches before forcing a real move 15

16. S HOULD N OT U SE N ULL -M OVE ( CONT.) 16 Violate the assumption Zugzwang: Positions in which all possible moves make the position worse Only use null-move in positions with many pieces left ?

17. S OLVING GAMES Game-theoretic value of a game The outcome, i.e., win, loss or draw, when all participants play optimally. 17

18. C LASSICATION OF GAMES ' SOLUTIONS (L.V. A LLIS IN 1994 ) Ultra-weakly solved the game-theoretic value of the initial position has been determined. Weakly solved for the initial position a strategy has been determined to achieve the game-theoretic value against any opponent. The strategy must be efficient and practical in terms of resource usage. Strongly solved: a strategy has been determined for all legal positions. 18

19. C OMPLEXITY ISSUE State-space complexity of a game the number of all legal positions in a game. Game-tree (or decision) complexity of a game the number of all leaf nodes in a solution search tree. A solution search tree is a tree where the game- theoretic value of the root position can be decided.. 19
