Good day all!

I wonder what that number (I usually see +1 or +2) beside the captured pieces below the board (or above, in the opponent area).  Please, what does this number mean?  Thanks. 

it means you traded your rook for a bisop and should resign

lol, ok, it is always good to laugh, friend.  But I really don't know what that number mean.

And now I noticed, sorry, people, I posted this question in the wrong topic.

I had the answer already, in the general chess topic. Please, disregard this post.

Dont waste our time. Were hard at work with one of chess's most elusive problems. "What does GG mean".

Usually the number besides the capture pieces is the material count!

8 pawns = 8 points

4 minor pieces = 12 points

3 major pieces = 19 points

Total count = 39
