Hi Leonid, I may be a bit wrong but I think it means: Say you set fixed depth to 11 The program will do a search as it always does, including extensions to say 18 or 20 ply. After it has finished searching all moves at the 11th ply (+ extensions) it will make its move. This is not a full "brute force" search to 11 plys, it still ignores lines that it dismissed as terrible in the earlier plies. It is a normal search to 11 plies (+ extensions). Hi Leonard, Tina Long
