Definitely the type of game affects the accuracy alot, but by playing aggressively you're often sacrificing some accuracy on purpose to create chances. You're often not even going for moves that youd consider best, but for moves you think give you more chances. In this case accuracy doesnt really matter, but it should still be reflected by your choices.
Accuracy isn't a fair metric for aggressive/tactical players?

I agree,spot on comment. Most of the famous players known for their sacrificial attacks were often inaccurate ,however, their opponents often bungled the defense because of the shock value of the attacks and the complexity of the positions.

Hey guys! I've recently been thoroughly enjoying playing some uber-agressive, sacrifice full chess. It's serving me pretty well, but I do find that the engine in post-game review tends to be largely unimpressed in terms of accuracy. While watching the PCL, I heard some of the commentators discussing this very issue, and some were calling for an AI analysis that instead judges who is winning on the DIFFICULTY of playing a position. That said, here are a few recent aggressive games I've played, and I'll list the accuracies and you'll see what I mean:
The engine gave this one only 75% accuracy!
This game, although I sacked 7 points of material, my opponent ended up having to accept the repetition or hang M2! Accuracy 82%, so much better.
I just don't think the accuracy represents the quality of the games, and I find this happens a lot in complex positions, or with aggressive games where the opponent's defensive resources do exist, but are extremely hard to find.
What do you think? Should we be developing an AI to judge positions on complexity, not accuracy?
I like the action with the exchange Caro-Kann, and you played well (correct me about the opening if I'm wrong). I wouldn't worry about the engine too much, because it's much higher rated and you may never succeed its knowledge. Only worry about the big mistakes you make in the game, and don't fret about 'inaccuracies'. Plus, you played theory anyway (even if it was unintentional), so don't worry about what it has to say for the first 20 moves. Also, I would pay more mind to the analyzation method with stockfish than your accuracy.

Some chess robots are different than others. My three options I suggest are Stockfish (obviously) or Alpha-Zero.

It truly depends on how you assess the chessboard and how well you play in general. I played a game with 87% accuracy and my opponent played with 91% accuracy (he was cheating later lol). I played really well, and I lost. If you review your games enough, you'll definitely get better. And even if you lose games, and you play really well, it's still something to be proud of. @Anirudh_23 I like the bio, well said.
