Two Quick Question

Hi guys,

I have two quick questions that I haven't been able to answer - and yes, I've read the help file.

1.  What happens in a tournament if the top two players in a round have the same score and the same tie break score? i.e. they both beat all the others and won one/lost one against each other?

2.  If you have a game analysed, what does the number after the move notation mean. e.g. Nf3 (+0.79)?

Many thanks in advance for answering these dilemas, sorry for being thick.

Padster.

1. Both players will advance to the next round.

2. The number represents how much one side is winning by. (+0.79) means that the computer thinks white is winning by 0.79 pawns. This doesnt just relate to material of course, it also looks at the positions of your pieces and available tactics. If the number is minus, the computer believes black is winning.
