Hehe, he gave statistics for the opening move 1. X, you gave statistics for 1. c4 X..

Originally posted by bosintangOf course they don't (add up to 100), they are winning percentages for white. It is saying that statistically out of 100 games where 1.c4 Nf6 is played White wins 58/100 or perhaps wins 50 and draws 16 (draw = .5).
Hehe, he gave statistics for the opening move 1. X, you gave statistics for the reply to that, 1. c4 X.
Even then, 'score' doesn't equate to 'percent played' because those three moves combined add up to over 100%.
Edit: this applies to your post too Fabian.
Like all statistics this implies a larger sample than 100 games, but you get the idea.
Edit 3: Since Fabian took Nf6, I'll guess g7 with a kings indian type setup.

If you don't know anything about a game to be started and you are supposed to guess what move it's going to be... Then it is good to know some statistics.
1. e4 is played in 47.9% of all games played.
1. d4 is played in 39.0% of all games played.
Now we have the these to moves is played in 81.9% of all games.
What is move in third place? Answer is ...[text shortened]... played.
After that we have g3, f4, b3, Nc3 etc., all with a percentage lower than 1% each.
He picked the move 1.c4 which is what 7.7%
So much for Statistics 😛
