2 unusual facts about SSS*


SSS*

However, Aske Plaat, Jonathan Schaeffer, Wim Pijls and Arie de Bruin have shown that a sequence of null-window alpha-beta calls is equivalent to SSS* (i.e., it expands the same nodes in the same order) when alpha-beta is used with a transposition table, as is the case in all game-playing programs for chess, checkers, etc.

Experiments showed that it did indeed perform better than Alpha-Beta in practice, but that it did not beat NegaScout.
