I made a chess website that lets you analyze every move not just the best ones.

With my initial shallow evaluation of the site, I didn't hate the scoring system, I could see clearly enough how the moves ranked relatively, and was open to some different scheme. @nadjarostowa makes good points, though. (As he sometimes does.) ;-)

I'll say again, great work! Your site stand out in recent things I've been bothered to look at. 8-P

I think not only early adopters. Like everyone sees cp everywhere - every video, every engine, every website.

I do see the charm of integer values, but it is a very high price to pay for a negligible and only visual "improvement". And even if you know what it means, every chess player will translate those values in their head to cp anyway, which seems an unnecessary burden.

There's a reason why we use standardized units, and if we don't, it leads to friction, confusion, misinterpretation. Different temperature scales or length units... what a mess.

Would you think it is a good idea to only write 5, 6, and 10 on road signs for speed limits instead of 50, 60, and 100? ;-)

(I think I have seen a similar feature in the Windows version of Shredder BTW).

I added a new setting for evaluations called "Show whole numbers only". If you uncheck it, you should now see centipawn evaluations. :)
