Body: <p>Forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere, but I've both Googled and searched here at CSE and cannot find an answer.</p>
  <p>When I'm using an Engine for analysis (in this case, Stockfish 15), I've noticed that both the &quot;Depth&quot; and &quot;Current Node&quot; values are often expressed as a fraction.</p>
  <p>What do these fractions represent?</p>
  <p>Below is an image showing an example of what I mean.  Depth is highlighted in red, current node in green.</p>
