Sibling Node
Home * Search * Node * Sibling Node
Sibling nodes are the nodes with a common ancestor, differing only by the position of one or at most two pieces. Some heuristics, most notably the Killer Heuristic and Sibling Prediction Pruning [1], rely on the assumption that the positions from the sibling nodes are similar to each other and ought to trigger the same behavior of a program.
