You'd think a name like that would be impossible for Google to find
you anything useful but "min max alpha beta" gets you lots of
theoretical info on the algorithm.  There is also a bit of commercial
stuff.  It sounds like it is a fairly simple algorithm you are
supposed to be able implement yourself from some notes.
Failing that, write the profs who have written various papers to see
if they know of implementations. They have unpublished ones.

One of the most useful comments you can put in a program is 
"If you change this, remember to change ?XXX? too".
