should I be  worried?

The "accuracy" metric on Chess.com is pretty meaningless. I routinely hit over 97% accuracy. If your opponent makes a blunder you'll probably be playing accurate moves. In my most recent game I missed a free piece and still finished with 97.8 accuracy. Don't worry, you won't get banned

Did you use an engine during the game? If not no worries but if you did I would hope you would be banned. You kids need to stop cheating at everything you do and actually learn.

There is nothing suspicious about a short very accurate game from a player of unexceptional level. Rather it is to be commended. If someone averages 98% accuracy (very different) they better be a super-GM!

Avatar of corkiethedog

For short games like this, high accuracy ratings are common.  The moves are dominated by the book moves at the beginning, leading to high "accuracy" measurements.

I got 100 % accuracy today, because opponent resign after my tactic.. grin.png

Avatar of WightPacifist

@ZachGB I guess. But try to put your game into different engine and you might get different result. I think nobody should be so worried about % of accuracy.

Don't worry old bean, we of the upper classes frequently get such marvellous results, it's in our blood you know !
