*

1) 'Total' moves is the number made by FVF in the game

2) 'Book' moves are those available from most opening databases such as Explorer & are normally excluded from analysis

3) 'Other' are those such as forced moves or moves in which there's a large difference between the engine's first & nth. choice. Any moves in which any of the engine choice moves exceed 2 pawns in strength are excluded, because a competent player would be expected to be able to see this for themselves

4) 'Net' moves is the number of qualifying moves used to calculate the T1, T2 & T3 figures

5) 1st, 2nd & 3rd give the counts of those moves we made that corresponded to the engine's assessed first, second & third best moves in the position. Sometimes we made moves that weren't in any of those categories, so the three counts won't always add up to the Net figure

6) T1, T2 & T3 represent the proportion of moves we made that correspond to the engine's best choices, as a percentage & are calculated like this:-

T1 = (1st / Net) * 100%
T2 = ((1st + 2nd) / Net) * 100%
T3 = ((1st + 2nd + 3rd) / Net) * 100%
