If there really is a provably 100% certain win at a lower depth, Alpha-Beta should always go for that over any deeper win with a higher score difference though (this is because I use Iterative Deepening in Alpha-Beta, and immediately go for a win instead of continuing to the next search depth if I find a provable win at the current search depth).
If it is easy for you to generate a trial and save it at the point in time where you think Alpha-Beta makes such a mistake (so not all the way the end of the trial, just where you see that it should have an obvious short win but doesn't go for it), and explain to me which sequence of move would result in that win, I could investigate.
