Then I guess I am just exceptionally gifted :) The only way to evaluate the games is to analyse them. One needs to analyse all games; won, drawn and lost. To create a book from a database from the score percentage if you see a move with 99% out of 100 games it means that it is almost winning for sure or that finally the opponent found the way to kill that move? The only way to find out is to check the moves and find out. When you analyse a game you should be able to answer the following questions: 1. Did I won because I played better or because the opponent blundered? 2. Could I play better? 3. Where? 4. Why did I play not at the best? 5. Did I select a variation not suiting my style and or my chess knowledge? 6. Was this line more suiting my opponent? and so on. Of course to be able to answer them needs "a lot" chess understanding and this can be achived only reading very many chess books (I think I have/had about 400) and playing chess yourself at the club and International tournaments too. The chess programs are good too to practise, but the best way to get the most from them is to play against them like you would play normally and not anti-computer chess. I mean if you want to improve you need to face them on their best and not to weak them in order to get the tough opposition... To understand everything from scores/percentages...is simply a joke!
