Question 1:
Using A* Algorithm , find the optimal path from the node S for the graph given in the
diagram .Two goal nodes are given in the diagram . Explain how the algorithm
can/cannot find the optimal solution for both goal nodes.
Question 2:
If a program prunes away a move in chess that looks bad because it sacrifices valuable
material that may just be the sacrificial move that would have checkmated the opponent
in another few additional ply (or just gain a material and/or tactical advantage)? How
can alpha-beta pruning be made safe for a chess program? Discuss whether this pruning
algorithm can be used to achieve the best solution space for the given problem.
