opening table

An opening table denotes a list of possible first moves and moves during the opening phase of a game along with their ratings. The evaluation of these features is usually carried out by means of computer programs by means of a static position evaluation after the construction of a position tree up to a high iteration depth.

For zero sums with perfect information, a position tree can be constructed using the Minimax algorithm. This is usually trimmed by different methods around all irrelevant branches. A uniform position evaluation can be ensured in such games in the simplest case by counting the playing material on the board. The sensible use of an opening table assumes that the static position evaluation used is reasonable. Alternatively, different evaluation functions can perform a position evaluation for each train variant and store these in different fields of the opening table.

Opening tables can be either digital or in paper form. Relevance in different games

Opening tables - usually referred to as the opening book - are especially used in chess games. In the case of games without perfect information such as poker, an assessment of the probability of victory is made instead of the static position evaluation. Miscellaneous Edit the source text

End tables are available analogously to opening tables.
