Do you mean the time per move?
Percentage bars after a move
Sort:
Look at this screen image. I played against the computer (a really BAD program!) You can see two bars at the far-right side of the game. The gray bar represents the white; the dark bar represents the blacks.
The 1st move was Qb3 and then the number 0.1. The blacks (me): d5; my move was “rated” 10.3.
How do you interpret those numbers?
Chess.com Member Support answered me this way:
- “These bars and number represent the point calculation of the move, and as I understand it the bigger the number and bar, the better the move was to improve your chances in the game.”
I thought it was the opposite. I made some bad moves sometimes and they had large bars!
It is very confusing!

The text editor is pretty bad... hard to use, it jumps erratically, etc.

No, those are the time in seconds for each move.

Yeah, its just what would happen in usual. A bullet game has more blunders than a blitz for example.
Some moves blitz or rapid may be bad, but not as much as bullet.

You are right. Those are the times per move. I noticed when my move had more than 1 minute. The tech support also contributed to my confusion.
Thanks, notmtwain! You are serious, indeed!
This site needs lots of improvements. First of all: Streamlining.
I can get directly here from my email. But when I want to see a comment again and respond, I get nowhere!
