one possibility is that a lower rated player tries harder v a higher rated player but the higher rated player treats the lower rated player casually ie doesnt take them as seriously
so one player is giving it all theyve got while the other understimates who they face
Is it normal for 900 rated players to hit 75-85% accuracy in a 30+ move game? I see it all the time lately. I looked at my game history once and found that the 800-900 players were averaging 70%+ accuracy against me while 1000+ players were only averaging 65% accuracy. It was fairly large sample size too. It just seems odd that once you clear the 1000 mark games seem to get easier. Perhaps players at lower levels are more apt to cheat? Or maybe they get busted before they get to high in ratings?
