As I understand, for average centipawn loss, lower is better. It kind of measures how much worse a player’s average moves are compared to the best moves suggested by the engine. Based on your data, Ding has a very slight advantage, not Gukesh. Here is an article from chess.com (https://www.chess.com/blog/raync910/average-centipawn-loss-chess-acpl https://www.chess.com/blog/raync910/average-centipawn-loss-c...):
> The term average centipawn loss (ACPL) represents how much “value” a player drops by making incorrect moves during a chess game. ..... The lower an ACPL that player has, the more perfectly they played (at least in the eyes of the engine assessing the game).
- eterm 2y agoIndeed. I'm not normally one to write off an article over a small mistake, but that's such a fundamental mistake that it puts into the question the value of the rest of the analysis.

- maximamel 2y agoThank you, you're right, I corrected this mistake. As the difference in acpl is negligible anyway, it does not affect the overall conclusions and insights.
