Reply to comment by PixelGMS in [OC] Percent of human moves matching computer recommended moves in top chess tournaments by Evidently_21

No, they shouldn’t add up to 100%.

Grey is what % of moves in the beginning of the game match the computer. Gold is the same for mid/end game. If players played exactly how a computer would, both grey and gold would be 100%.

Green is for all moves, so it’s going to be somewhere in between, but closer to gold (as grey only counts moves 5-15, and gold is for every move after, and there are usually more than 25 moves in a chess game).

I'm an idiot. Yeah, that makes sense, I guess I misread/misunderstood what the colors represented.

Nah, you’re not an idiot! It’s a bit of a weird diagram.
