I'd be careful drawing conclusions from this data only. Most captures (in %) happen in the opening/mid game, so shorter games will result in a higher percentage in the "captures" column. I would expec …

1st game As in the second game you gained a good position out of the opening, exchanging the strong dark-squared bishop for a knight. Around move 25 black just seems better having the bishop pair, do …

Black has an undeveloped queenside, a weak bishop on g7, lots of weaknesses on the light squares and consequently a very weak king position. This suggests potential tactics. The point of 1. Nxe5 is t …

As above in the comments, it is impossible to estimate the rating based on a single game only. The reasons for this are: The rating number itself is statistical and relative, i.e. it tells you somet …

There is no king on the kingside yet to attack. Black might very well castle long in which case your attack is aimed at nothing and might potentially weaken your own king's safety. 5....c4 is prematu …

As the engine is telling you, after .... Bh5 g4 Bg6 h4 h5 (basically forced to make space for the bishop; h6 is much worse because white will have the option to open your kingside with g5 and mate …

I was wondering about the exact meaning of winning percentage (white/draw/black) in database systems and how to use them for studying. How are move order variations taken care of? For instance, if I …

C02 is the French advance variation. If handled properly it is characterized by white gaining space in the center with white pawns typically on b2, c3, d4, e5, f4. The center is closed and black is ch …

Because of the initial analysis of the position you would already have limited the number of variations that you want to calculate. …

Putting all your pawns on one type of square color is usually not a good idea. For instance black could have played 4 .. Qh4+. Also with all the pawns on light squares the bishop on g7 gets incredibly …

The 7 man tablebase (for which there is a free android app) says that the position is won for black and it says it is mate in 21 moves (with perfect play from both sides) after 1... Kg5 which is the o …

In short: White can sacrifice the pawn on a2 and will gain a quicker development of his pieces. The technical term for this is compensation. In detail: In the current position, both sides have not de …

The position is lost since you lose a piece for at most a pawn and no real compensation if black knows what to do. For the best possible move in such situation you could consult a computer which woul …

For an online tool, lichess is good. You can enter your game and have it analysed by a computer engine. The analysed game will have annotations in plain language ("mistake/blunder/inaccuracy") and o …
