Computer Analysis

Hi

Can someone help me understand how computer rates moves. I had game analyised and it says inaccuracy(-1.65) Best move(-2.65) Why both best move and bad move rated in negative numbers?

Thanks for your help ;-)

That isn't the rating of each individual move. It's your overall standing in the game.

Computers use the value of a pawn (1.0) to measure material and positional factors. Even the square a pawn sits on and different pawns can change the evaluation of material value. Rook pawns, for instance are often worth less than one. A pawn that has advanced to the seventh rank will be worth far more than one. If I could communicate the entire scheme, I would be writing the engine's code.

My comments presume that you've already taken in and understood GoMath1123's comment.
