Subject: Seek-depth of Junior 6.0

Friends of chess!

I am a novice at using chessplaying softweare, so please let me ask a very basic
question. This C-C C MB is very serious and have a very high standard, and I
have learned a lot by reading from it the last few mounth. Thank you!

I understand Fritz seeks one PLY ("half-move") after the other, represented by
f.ex. 12/30, meening 12 PLY brute force plus 30 PLY selectiv.
My Junior however represents depth only by one singe number. In a normal
middelgame position it goes normaly 11 - 13 - 15 etc. (given enough time).
Sometimes it even goes from 15 to 18 (!). Is this brute force depth? I find that
not likely, considering it only takes some 5 minutes to depth 18-20 on a Pentium
III 500Mhz.

Very happy if anyone would spend some minutes of explaining what the
depth-number of Junior 6.0 means!
