Would you rather win a game with 65% accuracy, or lose with 92%?

I would not consider accuracy as the goal in chess

This accuracy thing is nothing but an ego feed and money maker for the site.

#3 Why? It nicely indicates the performance of both players. True, sometimes it's not so accurate, but it's a pretty good indicator. The thing which is rather not accurate are game ratings. But that is another topic.

#1 I would win with 65%. A win is a win regardless of the accuracy, and a lose is a lose regardless of the accuracy.

#4. You can win with fools mate and get 100%. But is that because you played well or your opponent played poorly? And how many here focus on what they need to work on to become better as opposed to how many focus on how high the accuracy is?

Win with 65% so I can raise my elo to 1974 because it's a 4000 elo player

How is it calculated? Is it something like the best move divided by the turns taken?
