How deep does the reference agent search?
In the hw2 description, it is said that our agent will play against “a simple minimax agent with no alpha-beta pruning”. But how simple is the agent? We know nothing about the agent except it uses minimax without alpha-beta pruning.

the students’ answer, where students collectively construct a single answer
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is same time limits apply. The conditions are the same for our agent and adversary agent. We can learn how long it takes to grow a search tree on the computer as function of number of layers so we can infer how far the other agent can possibly go.

I think so. Without more information, it is difficult to decide which strategy to use.

Good question. Hope some TA could answer that.
If every piece has 8 moves to consider, there are 8*19=152 moves for one state.
With such a large branching factor, I don’t think our agent can reach a depth deeper than 3.
Pedram Safi 12 days ago it all depends on how much time you have left. That is given to us as input. Daniel Link 12 days ago Pedram is right.
