I don't believe that you should directly link winning percentage and ce. Whenever I add new games to my database, I see that winning percentage changes for each opening position. Now, has the value of the position changed any? Certainly not. There clearly should be some relationship between a good move and winning percentage by good players and computers. But I don't think there is an invertible function between the two numbers. When choosing a chess move, I think the computer's evaluation of the position should be considered together with win expectancy from your database. If both agree on what is the best move, then go for it. If they disagree, maybe we should look harder at subsequent alternatives.
