The above evaluation is something that I just cut and pasted from a game that
Crafty evaluated. These are BASICALLY the same on all computer programs. What I
need to know is what these figures mean. Am I right in assuming that -10.77
would mean the program sees the position better for black? If it was a +10.77 it
would be better for white? What does the number mean? The "10.77"? What about
depth 2/5? I am also assuming that 00:00:00 would mean the time the program
looked at the position? ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Regards,
Jeff
