Less accurate and winner ?

Hello, everybody.
It me, Luciano, from Brazil;
Im a begginer and Im trying to understand the engine analysis of the game provided by chess.com.
Is it common to win games even when you are less accurate than your oponent? Sometimes I win games being less accurate than them, and It sounds quite counter-intuitive to me.

Thank you for your attention.

(You can se two example below ("Precisão" = "accuracy" in portuguese)

"One bad move nullifies 40 good ones". It can happen and it's really no big deal. Accuracy is just a rough estimate used to compare playing strength in relation to other players, don't focus too much on it.

The winner of a chess game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.

I only look at the chess analzyer if it says "Brilliant Move" gold.png

Everything else, I ignore wink.png

What if the losing side makes two final mistakes in a row?

Then the losing side still made the next-to-last mistake

Move accuracy is subjective.

if you blundered six pawns but your opponent blundered their queen, you should win because, although you made 5 more blunders, they weren't as bad as the blunder your opponent made.
