stockfish designations - what do they mean

Sort:
HalfSmoke

I was fooling around with a stockfish engine and I wanted to know what the designations under the recommended move mean.  For example, the very first move stockfish 9 recommended d2d4 and then under that recommendation is this:  cp 55.  what does cp 55 mean?

cp stands for centipawn, or 1/100 of a pawn. So 55 cp is a little over half a pawn. (I don't know whether the pawn is sliced horizontally or vertically. ;))
