Is it possible to get 100% accuracy in a game?

No, not if you actually try to play a game

Yes. It's easy to do so. Some games end up really fast so the faster it ends, the easier it is to have 100%
Some famous gambits and traps can lead to very early checkmates leading to 100% accuracy scores.
My favorites are the fried liver and the traxler.

I have seen 100% games between novices. It was 7 moves, white won by resignation and played 3 book moves I think, 1 brilliant move and the rest were best

I think as long as it's book moves you get 100% accuracy. You just described a handful of my games playing the blackmar-diemer, Ryder gambit.

if I had played 4. Qe2 instead of 4. Qf3 I would have 100 accuracy

I just had a 21 move game rated OTB over the weekend where I had 100% at maximum depth. I have had at least one other 100% game online. And believe me I'm not that good.

People who say it is "practically impossible" or anything of the sort don't know what they're talking about.

For those of you who said no, you did not experience a rare chance like me. I played somebody and played 1 e4, 2 Nf3 3 Nc3-all book moves, then resigned so I won’t make any other type of move. I got 100% accuracy.

I agree with you, Pokervane!

Last month I had a 100% accuracy in a game. I played the Traxler against the Fried Liver and my opponent chose one of the 4 of 6 squares for his king that leads to death.

Not unless you think computers have already solved the game of chess. The computer can say you played 100% based upon its depth level but it still isn't 100%.

yes,if you didn't make any moves you can't make any mistakes.So 100.0

Avatar of Sreesh-KH

Well i got 100% accuracy but i would say my opponent didn't knew about my fried liver attack.

It's possible to get 100.00 accuracy I played someone who had it (posted on jun 23 2024)

Avatar of babyfischer0513

Yes, But only if you use book moves. For Example, if you play D4 the D5 and either you or your opponent resigns both of you get 100% accuracy.

Avatar of CitadelTrill

People saying it's impossible aren't even looking at how old this thread is and how many examples people have posted already of their own little %100 accuracy games

Here is a 100% game my son played
