Hi, 
   When the gnuchess is thinking it displays a score (+x or -x). 
I always assumed that +x means thinking side is better and -x means
thinking side is worse.
   For example, when gnuchess is black, and it displays +0.35, I though
that black is better. Is this true? Someone recently suggested that +x
means white is better (always).
