Hi

I am around 1000 elo. Literally every opponent I play against has had 95+ percent accuracy. What does this mean and surely players at this elo can’t be that good? I feel like there are a lot of cheaters. It’s ridiculous

The whole accuracy thing is a HUGE waste of your time.  It does nothing to improve your game.  All it does is cause people to think every cheats.  Its misused, misread, and misunderstood.

Hi

Fair enough, noted. But still, what does accuracy mean. I saw some chart saying that 1800 players play with an average of 93% accuracy, and so many games I play my opponent has a ridiculously high level with no blunders or mistakes. I feel like there are many engines at my level still.

A 1000 player can have games where the accuracy is higher than a game by a GM.

Let me give you an exemple to make you understand: I’m 1200 rated player and if I play lower than 1100 players. My accuracy is most of times above 93% and when I’m facing players of 1400 my accuracy drops to 60% or less, it’s because peoples who are stronger than you, will give you hard time, you can’t really play perfectly. And they will have easier time against you, so they will play smoothly.

I recently had this game where I made three obvious blunders  : 3. d5 4. b5 and 22. f6 and my calculated accuracy was still of 98%. On the other side I feel like I had more "clean" games in which my accuracy was in the area of 70-80%. I don't give much importance to this metric honestly. Also it really depends on the game you are having, some are really straightforward where the next move to be played is obvious and some more complex where you can a bunch of "valid" moves at a time. And as the upper message said, a strong player is going to give you a harder time finding obvious moves against him.

https://prnt.sc/vp5z32 Last 4 games that you played and analyzed. Your opponent's accuracy, starting from newest first, was 95.1, 47.3, 85.3, and 76.1 compared to your own accuracy of 13.8, 9.1, 14.9, and 76.1 which is nowhere near a 95+. That's an average accuracy of below 76, which is not anywhere close to topping 95. Even those numbers occur from your numerous blunders making their punishments pretty clear. 

This does not requiring cheating to punish. You hung pieces, and they took them. 

They hand you multiple free captures, but you give away more than they do and lose for it.

You played well until move 9, where things got a bit tricky for you. But move 10 was when you threw away the entire game, though you kept making it worse for yourself afterwards.

You actually gave away the game to them, your poor queen opening getting pushed out, then you blunder. Fortunately for you they don't see the full punishment and hand the game right back by giving away free material, free tempo at the worst of times for them, and finally let a checkmate slip in there. 

They aren't cheating. I'm not even sure I'd say they were having great games. You were just doing very badly and it made it easier for them to make the right moves.

Hi, thank you for all your responses. Yep maybe stop looking at accuracy and focus on my game. I just felt that I was facing opponents with high accuracies quite a bit and that they didn't belong at such a low Elo. What steps can I take to improve my skills?

Cheers all

I find the worse my opponent plays, the better accuracy rating I get.

Look for what is undefended or underdefended. Just see if there are more attackers than defenders for a particular square with something on it. If that's on your square you need to change that, whether you move your piece away or defend it better, etc. If it's your opponent's square you should consider taking it. A lot of free material is just hanging around in games, and just reducing the number of times you give away stuff and increasing the number of times you take advantage of free stuff will improve your game. You can see examples of these opportunities, both taken and missed, in the 4 games I commented on.

Hi

 

Last game I felt I played pretty well. How can I improve to win against this guy named bakar? and what should I take from the chess analysis as all I'm focused on is the fricking 95% accuracy
