What does the game playing literature contribute to the wider subject?
Answer: A
Alpha beta, transposition tables, Monte Carlo tree search and self play are all used well outside games, in planning, scheduling and optimisation. No theory of intelligence emerged, search proved indispensable rather than dispensable, and the techniques did transfer even though the competence did not. Distinguishing the transfer of techniques from the transfer of capability is what makes the field's record on games comprehensible.
