+= white is better =+ black is better +- white is winning -+ black is winning = position is roughly equal
0.00 through 0.30 is basically even 0.30 through 0.70 or so is white is better +=
0.70 and higher is +- white is winning
0.00 through negative -0.30 is even neg - 0.30 through -0.70 is =+ black is better neg -o.70 and up is winning for black
anytime either player reaches 1.00 or better or more they are usually up material or have a forced series of moves leading to a win
computers factor in positional and material factors into this number
In the early opening the numbers are not always acurate if you are not in the computers book
Currently, I use rybka to analyze my games, and I was wondering how I find my advantage, or disadvantage over my opponent. I'm wondering what it's called and what the different numbers mean. When analyzing a game, it says a move is + or - a number, what does it mean, is this to the overall advantage of one side? Any help is appreciated.
