Is this still alive? I have a really basic probably dumb question as a newbie to the app. I know there's a "book" with minor move analysis/suggestions, but I don't understand how to read the white/gray/black bar next to suggested move. What exactly are the percentages and numbers representing?

I don’t know what you are looking at, but I think that it is a good guess that the percentages are for wins, draws, and losses in that position in some database of games. Such percentages can vary over time and change from one source to another, depending on the specific pool of games that has been used.

Thank you! The thing I'm referring to is being in live gameplay with a friend and clicking the analysis icon at the bottom of the board. Then the forth icon in is a little book with a pawn on it, and it suggests next moves for both sides with a number next to the move and a little bar that's shaded in with percentages. I assumed it was some kind of success rate or play rate, but didn't fully understand it.
