Hi, I recently played a game where my opponent had 9.5% accuracy!

Steven-ODonoghue

In my most recent game my opponent had 8.1

Sollieman83

oh

Sollieman83

how is it possible to get accuracy that low? you would have to blunder every move or smth

Steven-ODonoghue

he hung a piece almost every move and he was in the mid 1500s and this was a 30 minute game

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!

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.
