Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason for implementing quiescence search in a chess evaluation function?

  • To prioritize singular extensions over other moves
  • To eliminate the horizon effect in all possible moves
  • To avoid counting material in positions with favourable captures (correct)
  • To reduce the number of nodes in the search tree
  • What is the main disadvantage of forward pruning in game tree search?

  • It increases the number of nodes to be searched
  • It reduces the depth of the search tree
  • It may prune a better or best move (correct)
  • It requires a larger transposition table
  • What is the purpose of singular extension in dealing with the horizon effect?

  • To avoid considering moves that are not clearly better (correct)
  • To prioritize moves that are not immediately damaging
  • To memorize moves that are likely to be avoided
  • To reduce the depth of the search tree
