Please note that the written assignment in Section 3.6 of the handout asks
specifically for an enhancement to the *minimax algorithm*. This means it
should be possible to apply it to ANY game that uses the minimax
algorithm. It must NOT be specific to the Reversi game. For example, a
description of a more efficient way to write getValidMoves() or
getBoardValue() is NOT an acceptable answer, because both of those
funcitons are specific to the game of Reversi. They would not be
applicable to a game of chess, for instance.

When you write your answer, it does not have to be very long. However, you
must explain the enhancement clearly enough to show us that you understand
what it is and how it works. We must also be able to understand it by
reading your description of it.
As the handout suggests, you should look up "minimax" online or in the
library. There is a ton of information available.
