Finally, it may be worth noting that a similar optimization is widely used in game-playing programs, where it is called alpha-beta pruning.

最后，值得注意的是，类似的优化已经广泛应用于电子游戏的程序，在那里被称为alpha - be ta剪枝。

In addition, programmers have come up with all sorts of algorithms and tricks such as Alpha-Beta pruning, Negascout, and MTD(f) in order to lessen the number of nodes the computer must examine.

此外，程序员们也提出了很多算法和技巧来减少节点数目，比如阿尔法 贝塔剪枝算法（Alpha-Beta pruning），Negascout搜索算法以及MTD（全称是：Memory enhanced Test Driver，即记忆增强测试驱动，译者注）方法。

Let's just check. If my pair chooses Alpha, then my choosing Alpha yields 0, Beta -3: so Alpha would be better.

我们来验证下,如果我对手选α,我选α得0,选β得-3,所以选α更好

But if my pair chooses Beta then Alpha yields -1, Beta yields 1: in this case Beta would be better.

但是要是我对手选β我选α得-1,选β得1,此时选β更好

If my opponent chooses Alpha and I choose Alpha, I get 0; Beta, I get -1. So Alpha would be better.

如果我对手选α我选α,我得0,选β我得-1,选α更好

Vega is not actually part of the true Greek alphabet (Alpha-Beta) that is so beloved by financial quants etc and yet it fits neatly into the family tree of performance benchmarks.
