what's with that eval bar

Miniongolf

It's to tell you whether you're winning or losing, but it doesn't seem to work in that game.

It tells who the computer thinks is winning. If it says - then black is winning. Also the color of the bar tells who has the advantage.

taywave

Oh. your asking why that says black is winning. Probably just a bug

sushiVolc

Yes I know annotation and I know what the eval bar does but first of all it doesn't display any numbers on the bar itself (eg. +2.3, -5.0, M5. etc) and it's white who is winning.

taywave

Maybe it's because you're playing automate

blackfirestorm

My bad sorry I couldn't see any numbers so thought you meant the numbers on the board. 

sushiVolc

even in automate it shouldn't malfunction

It tells you who is winning. if the eval bar turns white and says plus a number, that means white is winning. If the eval bar is black and says minus a number, that means black is winning. If it says something like M3 or M2, that means there is mate in that many moves

oh

I didn't refresh my page. It still said you were the first comment

sushiVolc

btw if you look at the position white is winning. By and entire rook.

ChessForEver13

Just a bug

I don't see what's wrong with it, black is clearly winning! He has mate in 1! For people who don't realize this is a joke... umm, well it's a joke.
