I understood that if the search depth is d then Junior is looking in lines of
something between d/2 plies and 2d plies.

I understood that d/2 is the brute force depth and 2d is the selective search.
If d is not even I guess it should be (d-1)/2 or (d+1)/2 instead of d/2.

Anir ban knows better than me.

Amir ban replied in the past that it is only preferring sacrifices in the
search.
No change in the evaluation.
