Confusion galore when talking about search depths. Therefore it's best not to interpret ply notation at all. :-) >The first number is the brute force depth, and the second number is the minimum >extension depth. Personally (for the 12 in CM's 3/12) I prefer the term nominal depth. It's comparable to other engines' nominal depth, because they're all nominal. But that's where the comparison ends since "nominal" carries no meaning by definition. Except for nominal D+1 being nominally deeper than nominal D of course, assuming everything else being equal. ... Johan
