You will get better results from a game-programming forum, or indeed from a google search for "parallel alpha beta" than from a bunch of clojure guys with no particular experience in your problem domain.
The question is more around JDK7 and reducers. Google gives me loads of results but it's all the traditional 'lock and suffer' approach. What I meant is basically this:
let's forget about parallelism for a second...once someone has minimax ready it is a matter of minutes to turn it into an alpha-beta but in doing so you introduce dependencies between the branches and this is fine in a serial scenario. The minute forking occurs however you lose coordination capabilities (at least this is my understanding). He said it very casually in the video that is why this has been bugging me so much...
obviously I'm wrong I'm just trying to find someone that knows a lot around reducers/fork-join t give me clues...thanks for your time anyway :-)
