El algoritmo minimax en simples palabras consiste en la elección del mejor movimiento para el computador, suponiendo que el contrincante escogerá uno que lo pueda perjudicar; para escoger la mejor opción este algoritmo realiza un árbol de búsqueda con todos los posibles movimientos, luego recorre todo el árbol de soluciones del juego a partir de un estado dado, es decir, según las casillas que ya han sido rellenadas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - algoritmo%20minimax
