i have just became a diamond member so now when I analyze my game I can click on the computer looking icon and it shows the name of the opening move and I guess a percentage of what I should do next? what does the bar mean that is the parts and the first is white

In the Opening Explorer, the percentages are how often the listed move wins for white (the white section), draws (the gray), or wins for black (the black section). That is based on the database of games it is using.

thanks that makes sense.. I'm trying to figure out what I got diamond for..I want to improve my game but am not learning how to apply the lessons or data to new games

My explanation is a little off. It is games in the database that eventually have those results after the position reached after that move. The move itself likely has little to do with the final game result, especially out of the opening.
