What is the meaning of numbers during analysing the game?
Sort:
Hello Chess Community.
after I finish each game, during analyzing the game. I see number above next to moves which I don't understand its meaning like this :
-25.06 - 21. Qe3 Rxe3
-33.87 - xx . xxxxxxxx
+02.54 - xx . xxxxxxx
those numbers on right with PLUS + OR MINUS -
what does they means ?
and if there is an article in chess.com that explains them. please let me know.
best regards

+ means white has the advantage.
- means black has the advantage.
1.00 = 1 pawn.
.50 = half a pawn.
.33 = third of a pawn.

Of course @souptime4 is correct.
Just wanted to add something that may be confusing to new players. You don't need to have an extra pawn to be ahead 1.00 -- the numbers take into account positional factors too. So the material may be equal, but one side may be ahead 2.34 because their pieces are placed better, and/or king is safer, etc.

The numbers indicate which side the computer thinks is winning. If it is 0 then the computer then the computer thinks the game is level. If the number is +ve it thinks white is winning; if the number is -ve it thinks that black is winning. The bigger the number the more the side indicated is winning.
A score of about +/- 1 indicates that the difference between the two sides is about the difference of losing one pawn.

To find this I put 'numerical analysis of chess positions' into google.
