How to read the stats during live game analysis

Hello All,

 

I am having difficulties understanding the review of a game in the computer analysis that is provided by this site after the a game. Upon review a game (and this is not the first time) according to the stats I played worse than my opponent , but I won the game.

 

For instances:

 

In the following stats I made more inaccuracies,and more blunders and had a worse avg diff - but yet I still won this with a passed pawn and mate looming. Am I reading something wrong - it would seem to me if I play better with out mistakes i would win the game.

 

BTW I was black in the stats.

 

Any help in clarifying would help.

 

Strength White Black
Excellent 40 40
Good 12 10
Inaccuracy (?!) 4 6
Mistake (?) 4 2
Blunder (??) 0 2
Forced 0 0
Best Move 44.8% 51.7%
CAPS N/A N/A
Avg. Diff 1.41 1.45

It doesn't really matter overall. If a player makes a mistake that loses the game, it doesn't matter how well they played the previous moves. So, one player could outplay their opponent, making fewer mistakes/inaccuracies/blunders and still lose if they make a game losing mistake that their opponent catches.


Without a link to the game it is hard to say what transpired on the above. I would expect those stats to result in a win by white. I would assume the game didn't end by checkmate since white didn't have any blunders.

 

edit: it's also possible the basic analysis is just wrong.

 

edit2: if this was your last game, your blunders were not true blunders. You were winning by a lot before of the "blunders" and were winning less after but still winning by a lot. On the other, you missed a mating line, but were still winning. At deeper analysis, you opponent made twice as many inaccuracies as you and your inaccuracies and mistakes still left you with a winning game.

Thanks Martin_Stahl for the explanation. and taking the time to look at the game even though I neglected to provide a link. Thank you for the extra effort.

 

I will try to do better in future posts to provide all the information better.
