Suggestion: do a site search (upper right hand corner), for: computer analysis
Lots of discussion on this, eg. http://www.chess.com/home/computer_analysis_demo.html

Computer Analysis Question
Sort:
1. The number is how many pawn equivalents one side is ahead e.g. -0.7 means that Black is ahead by 0.7 pawns.
2. The difference between an inaccuracy and a mistake isn't easy to define, but a blunder by definition loses the game (or simply squanders an overwhelming advantage) on the spot.
3. Not as far as I know.
I just discovered this feature and I think it's awesome. Just have a couple of questions:
1. What exactly does the score mean? I've gathered that white is positive and black negative, but does the number represent a piece advantage?
2. What exaclty is the difference between inaccuracy, mistake , and blunder? I've gathered that they seem to go in order as to how big of a mistake it is, but is there a specfic definition for each one?
3. Is there a place on the site that explains how the computer analysis works?
Thanks in advance!
