How to read this analysis
The numbers, the verdicts, the board and the words of the game, explained simply.
The numbers
- Accuracy
- A score out of 100 for all of a player’s moves. 100%: every move was the best. A small inaccuracy barely lowers it; a blunder lowers it a lot.
- Winning chances
- For each position, the engine estimates who will win. 50%: the game is balanced. 80%: one side is clearly ahead. These estimates are based on thousands of games played on PlayAwale.
- Seeds lost
- “−4 seeds”: with the best move, the player would have finished the game with about 4 more seeds. That is the price of the move played.
The verdicts, from best to worst
- Move found The only good move: every other one cost at least 3 seeds and 15% winning chances.
- Best move The move the engine would have played.
- Good move Almost as good: less than 2 seeds and less than 5% winning chances lost.
- Inaccuracy From 2 seeds or 5% winning chances lost. Nothing serious, but a better move existed.
- Mistake From 4 seeds or 12% winning chances lost. Another move was clearly better.
- Blunder From 8 seeds or 25% winning chances lost: the game can tip over.
- Forced move Only one pit could be played: the move is not rated and does not count towards accuracy.
The board
- The two sides
-
The player Immutable Sage SIR
The player plays the bottom row, Immutable Sage SIR the top row. Throughout the page, each side keeps its coloured dot. - The rings
- Solid ring: the pit played. Dotted ring: the best pit, when it is not the one that was played.
- Before, after
- “Before the move” shows the position at the moment of choosing. “After the move” shows the result, captured seeds included.
The words of the game
- Capture
- When the last seed sown lands on the opponent’s side and makes 2 or 3 seeds there, you take them — along with those of the previous pits, if they also hold 2 or 3.
- Vulnerable pit
- A pit with one or two seeds: if the opponent sows one more seed into it, it holds 2 or 3 and can be captured.
- Threat
- A capture the next move would allow. Two threats at once are often impossible to parry both.
- Trap
- Leaving the opponent a capture… that costs them more than it brings, because you take back more right after.
- Kroo
- A pit of 12 seeds or more: its sowing goes all the way round the board and can capture several pits at once.
- Opening, middlegame, endgame
- The three stages of a game, by the seeds still on the board: 38 or more in the opening, 15 or fewer in the endgame.
