Hello.  I have just joined Chess.com and was wondering if there is a guide on how to use the information from the computer analysis.  The help file doesn't tell me anything:

For example what is an inaccuracie?

Well.....basically, when the numbers have a plus sign, that means white has the advantage; a minus means black has it.

I bielieve an inaccuracie is a move that is a bad choice, but not necessarily a full-blown error.

Hope that gives you a good start...I need a bit of research myself.

uhkam

?! is an inaccurary, meaning it could be dubious or aggressive move. Other player can though answer with good move.

? is a mistake. Not sometimes a bad one, but still it's a pretty wrong move...

?? is a plunder. You missed obvious move, like family fork.

 

I hope there would be though good things. Not all bad things...

 

! is a good move, like fork or skewer. These are rarely hard to find...

!! is an excellent move. These come if you have calculated great and long sacrifise or a very great threat.

!? is an interesting move. it's good, but there's better.
