High CAPS Score despite blunders? Best moves = 65% ??

I'm kinda proud of this game before the computer analysis, and still fairly proud after, as I was never behind. However, the 3 blunders I made were very hard to see when you're midway through a use-is-or-lose-it attack. (i.e. 2-3 of my opponents pieces where out of play so for a few moves I was playing up material)

 

Anyway, I'm shocked I got such a high CAPS score, but that tells me CAPS must be weighted by the number of "best moves" not just Mistakes/Blunders. I study consistently with the computer in my openings so that's really helping my best moves score.

Thanks for sharing. I liked this game very much. Although a blunder the Nh4 move 19 shows the ability to see alternate ideas, which in a fast game can be critical. Too often players on both sides focus on the same ideas and it is just who misses the thread of one idea first. I always am amazed and get lost in reviewing GM games because they have ideas all over the board going on and generate new ones with almost every move. While all your moves might not always have been the best, you really dominated this game with ideas. Great game.
