Discussion
Consider the following statements about alpha beta pruning.
1. It returns the same value as full minimax search
2. Its benefit depends strongly on move ordering
3. It applies unchanged to chance nodes in expectimax
Which of the statements given above is or are correct?
Answer: C
The first two are correct and are the two facts worth remembering about the technique. A chance node's value is an average and cannot be bounded from one child, so the pruning argument does not carry over without additional assumptions about the range of leaf values. Noticing that an argument depends on the backup rule being a maximum or minimum shows immediately where it will and will not apply.
