Alpha-Beta Pruning - Example: Minimax On A 6-Ply Game Horizon Depth: H 6

The document describes alpha-beta pruning on a 6-ply game tree. It shows the minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning being applied at each node, pruning branches that cannot alter the outcome. Node values and pruning are indicated at each level until the game is fully solved in 2 steps.
