Chess opening move selection So I’m playing a chess game and using 365chess.com to help with my moves (this is totally legal btw as long as engine analysis is turned off) it says move A leads to a win with white* 36% of the time in 405 games and move B leads to a win with white 44.1% of the time in 34 games. Obviously a much smaller sample size.

*

*technically, this move led to white winning 36% of the time from this position in games over 1600 elo. Or summit.

How confident can I be (if at all) that move B is better than move A
 A: We can do this pretty simply with a t-test.
Here's the code an output for a quick implementation in R:
#This creates the data. A vector of 0's and 1's with 1 corresponding to a win and 0 corresponding to a loss.
MoveA<-c(rep(1,.36*405),rep(0,(1-.36)*405))
MoveB<-c(rep(1,.441*34),rep(0,(1-.441)*34))

#And then we just plug it into the t-test function
t.test(x=MoveA,y=MoveB)

And the output:
Welch Two Sample t-test
data:  MoveA and MoveB
t = -0.72129, df = 36.95, p-value = 0.4753
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 -0.2488654  0.1182023
sample estimates:
mean of x mean of y 
0.3589109 0.4242424 

So what is this saying? It's saying that given the data, we are 95% sure that MoveA is between 25% worse to 11% better than MoveB. So... the sample size for Move B isn't really big enough to make any good conclusions.
It looks like you'd need between 200 and 250 games with MoveB to have the statistical power to actually see a significant different. So, just play 150 more games with MoveB and then you'll know!
