I'm not really familiar with the code so I could be way off, but Idepth sounds like the depth to search to (using iterative deepening, Idepth=1,2,3,etc.) while depth is the actual number of plies remaining in the search. The depth remaining can change due to futility pruning or search extensions while Idepth does not. Sam
