MAX or MIN player
While playing the game, how do we determine if our agent is min or max player(is there any criteria mentioned)?
Suppose if I choose(based on some conditions) that my player is min but the opponent agent also chose to play as min wont that create a problem as it will become a min-min game instead of min-max game?

Your agent is always the max agent.

You only get moves from the opponent. How your opponent arrives at them is irrelevant.

When all the agents play as max player wont that become a max-max play instead of min-max play?
Anonymous 5 days ago The other agent is maximizing an evaluation function that is unknown to you.
Anonymous 5 days ago In that case, in our min max algorithm, we will be considering the moves our opponent takes as a min player. Should we make the opponent also max and implement a max-max game?

Anonymous 5 days ago Your opponent will maximize his own evaluation function, which attributes higher scores to scenarios beneficial to him and lower scores to scenarios beneficial to you. In other words, the other agent trying to maximizing his evaluation function is the same as trying to minimize yours.
Daniel Link 5 days ago Why would you care how your opponent arrives at their moves?
Ryan Thomas 4 days ago I think you should look at the lecture notes and review what it means to be the min and the mac and how minimax works.
