Home * Search * Alpha-Beta * Fail-Low
There are two related semantics, if talking of a Fail-Low - inside the search tree or if using aspiration windows at the root.
Contents
Inside the Tree
A Fail-low appears at so called All-Nodes inside the alpha-beta algorithm, also called Fail-Low nodes. The score returned is a upper bound on the exact score of the node.
Quote by Bruce Moreland [2]:
A fail-low indicates that this position was not good enough for us. We will not reach this position, because we have some other means of reaching a position that is better. We will not make the move that allowed the opponent to put us in this position.
Root with Aspiration
Another meaning of a Fail-Low, is associated with aspiration windows at the root, where one needs to re-search with wider windows to get the true score rather than an upper bound.
Bruce again:
You can also talk about failing high and failing low from the root position, if you use an aspiration window.
