Accuracy is higher against higher rated players?

My best game accuracy by far according to chess.com was against a 2000+ ELO player (99.2%). However, I had some strong games against low ELO players and my accuracy falls down average 65%. Why does it happen? Accuracy shouldn’t be related to ours moves despite the opponent?

the accuracy isnt related to player strength. its only based off of the moves you played

m_cavalcanti

apparently those criteria are not very reliable

it is, you just play worse moves against people your own rating.

There is a simple explanation for this. Lower rated players often simply react to their stronger opponents’ moves. A strong player makes logical moves, consistent with a coherent plan. In reacting to such moves, the lower rated players often also plays more consistently.

Thank you!
It really makes sense. In that game particularly my opponent left his queen hanging (unusual for him since he is high rated) and he resigned even with no check-mate possibility. So yes, he played strong moves, I responded solidly and captilized his mistake accuractly. How ever, as you mentined, this is not my average.
