Ok, so as a 500-600 elo player, 64% average accuracy over 250 games it doesn't seem so bad.

Most of the 1200s and under who beat me have an accuracy above 92%.

if your accuracy is like 70%, you're probably a 2400 level blitz player here

bruh my accuracy when losing is like 60% or 50%. Just wondering, why is my accuracy mostly around 80-90% when ive only played around 15 games on rapid with a highest elo of 500?????

My accuracy when losing is often well below 70%, and I’ve won with lower accuracy. But in general, when my accuracy is in the 80-90% range, I lose mostly to players who later get banned.

I suspect the correlation between rating and accuracy will tend to become weak as rating rises, because your accuracy is as much dependent on the strength of your opponent, as it is on you.

For example, you're playing a newbie, who chases your queen with their knight. You correctly move your queen out of the way, and your accuracy for that move is 100%.

Next, you play against Mikhail Tal. He makes a move that wins your queen in 7 moves. You don't see it, so don't address the threat. Your accuracy for that move is 0%.

Thus, although your rating is the same, your accuracy is high against weak opponents, and low against strong opponents. Therefore, your accuracy in these examples is not about *your* rating, but about your *opponent's* rating.

Hello everyone,

I've noticed the ongoing discussions about the relationship between Elo rating and move accuracy. To contribute to this topic, I conducted an analysis of 35,000 blitz games (10+0) , evenly distributed across ratings from 400 to 2600. Using Stockfish 17.1 at depth 13, I measured the accuracy of each move.

Key findings:

  • There's a clear, continuous correlation between Elo rating and move accuracy.

  • Even when players of similar ratings (within 50 Elo points) face off, higher-rated players consistently make more accurate moves.

These results suggest that higher-rated players not only understand the game better but also maintain higher precision, even in evenly matched games.​

If you're interested in the detailed analysis and methodology, feel free to read the full article:

Looking forward to your thoughts and discussions!
