what are the numbers on the right side of the moves?

On each turn line there are the piece and location, but on the right there is a number that is clearly associated with the move.  What are those numbers, how are they calculated, and is there a description of what the values mean?

Thank you,

Those represent the number of seconds it took you to make your move. The bars do the same.

My god, I used to think the longer the bar was, the better a move you made.

Theoretically, that should be the case: taking longer to make a move should lead to better moves. But, in reality, that tends not to be the case.

No. I've sat in an OTB game for 20 minutes+ sometimes and the opponent comes up with a total clunk.

The bar represents a good move, but the number on the right side after every move tells you about the time you took to make that move.

There is some confusion here. Does the bars length indicate quality of a move or does it mean the time it took to move ?

Thanks all for clearing this up.

It's very inaccurate sometimes though. I once played a move that took like 10 seconds and it said 50 seconds. Also once had a guy take 5 minutes to make a move and it said 3 minutes
