It's called a swindle when you get outplayed but manage to trick the opponent.

Accuracy does not win games, a single mistake loses the game.

The winner of a chess game is usually the player who made the next-to-last blunder.

The loser is the player who made the LAST blunder.

Not true at all. You could blunder your queen in the first few moves and then the opponent "blunders" one minor piece. You'll still lose.

Nope it depends how bad the blunder is

Also it isn't the blunder that makes you loss it is he LOSSING blunder that makes you lose if you make it last

it was a 15/10 game, and if you think the eval bar was bad you should see our accuracy rating

Empirically, it seems rare for the loser to have higher accuracy (except when the win is not on the board).

I have higher accuracy in my lost games sometimes

Missclicks are the reason usually

Avatar of MariasWhiteKnight

Yes of course the loser can have higher accuracy.

People just expect far too much from accuracy.

You can never sum up a chess game with a single number.

Except maybe 1-0.
