We discuss the basic system and examine its performance in comparison to pre-existing algorithms of the type alpha-beta and its improved variants. We can show that evolution is able to outperform these algorithms both in terms of efficiency and strength.chessgamesevolutionevolutionary algorithmalpha-beta pruningtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
