Perhaps Amir Ban would carefully explain the depth numbers of Junior's search. Even though I consider Junior to have the most accurate score of a position, it's search depth numbers do not make sense unless they are selected lines of a selective searcher in which case they are not as useful to the user. The user needs information on full width depth in plies.
