What "centipawn" means in chess

A centipawn is a unit of measurement used to represent the value of a move. It is equal to one-hundredth of a pawn, and is often used by chess engines and analysts to assess the quality of a particular move. A move that is worth one centipawn is considered to be very small, while a move that is worth several hundred centipawns is considered to be very strong.
