Is the winner's accuracy always higher?
Sort:
I guess white’s accuracy would drop because of the blunder

Would black's accuracy be higher than white's?
It's always possible that the winning player will have a lower accuracy than the opponent, especially if the game is dropped to a one move blunder.
Just on the first page of my archive I have five games I lost with higher accuracy and two where I won with lower (though one of those was by a small percentage)

The winner is not always higher than the loser's accuracy. Example: black has 99%, white has 56% but then black resigns.
No.

You can win with an accuracy as low as 14%. Trust me. I've done it. (to be fair my opponent's accuracy was also 14%)
A good question! I am also thinking if the winners accuracy are always higher if the game was not ended by dropping/resign/time/etc
I had a game where I lost when playing 73% accuracy and my opponent won playing 71% accuracy. I played a better opening and mid game then him but he played a better endgame causing him to checkmate me with him having 2% lower accuracy than I. Thumbs up if this helps!!

2% is like 1 move
