Underneath the notation window is the well-known display of the balance of material.

 

In the bar with the small symbols for the pieces you can spot at once the distribution of material between the two sides.

 

Example

 

Tip: An important thing in understanding this display: what is shown in the bar is not the pieces which have been captured, but only the differences in the distribution of material.

 

If you click on the first move of the game notation, you will see in the same bar the full name of the opening.

 

Example

 

In addition, this window can be used to access an immediate evaluation of the position, without an engine running in the background.

 

For that to be displayed, simply click on the board on any piece of the side whose move it is. The program immediately displays the evaluation in the form of a textual comment, e.g. “Black is clearly better”, etc.
