The score is based on an evaluation of the position. If it is +ve white is winning and if it is -ve black is winning.
The value relates to the value of the pieces: pawn = 1, bishop/knight = 3, rook = 5, queen = 9.
So, if the score is +1 then white is a pawn up (or equivalent to a pawn up) in the position.
Hope this helps.
Corum,
Thank you for replying. However, we have a misunderstanding. I am aware of the points to which you refer; my question really relates to the computerised analysis of each move whereby a decimal number is given to moves which are deemed to be "inaccurate" or "mistaken" to use the computer's language. If you or anyone else can shed some light on their meaning, that would be great.
Thank you.

On chess.com that number is the evaluation of the position after the blunder. With as scale pawn=1point
I would like to use the computerised analysis of live chess games effectively but do not understand the meaning of the statistics given to individual moves such as -0.3 and so on. Any help to understand these statistics would be appreciated.
Thank you.
