Not to be that guy, but a 97, particularly in a 10 move game is not really that impressive. I got a 99.6 on a 20+ move game, but it was mostly theory so once again it’s not that impressive.

Well any idiot can memorize the Legal's Mate and memorize the move sequences and have a 99 CAPS after a 6 move mate. Doesn't make them a great player.

A fair observation, which is why nobody should put too much stock in those scores. Not that 97 isn’t impressive (it is, and congratulations), but if your opponent plays well then you’re more likely to make the mistakes that drag it down. If your opponent plays poorly, you’re more likely to get a higher score. I’ve seen 2000+ rated players with games in the 30s, and I’ve had probably 100 games with scores over 95. It’s a good, albeit flawed, heuristic
And thanks BTW
