Accuracy is independent of the result (although the person who wins more often has the higher accuracy).  Accuracy is simply a measure of the quality of the moves played. 

For example, a person could be playing near-perfectly but then blunder a mate in 1 late in the game.  That person would have a really high accuracy despite losing.

Similarly, a person could be in a winning position for 40 moves but consistently miss the best moves.  In this case, that person would receive a really low accuracy score despite crushing his opponent in the game.

No, you already got the answer to the question. 

For instance, there can be a game where one person plays better, and has a better position for the whole game and just blunder a mate in 1. His accuracy might be over 90 but he could still lose by blundering a checkmate in 1 move, even though his opponent might've had lower accuracy. 

The accuracy is calculated (the exact formula is not known to me) based on best moves move by move. So theoretically, one person could have all the best moves and then have one terrible move which ruins the game for them. The other person can have an average game, just hanging on and then exploit one terrible move by the opponent and win.

The first person would have higher accuracy despite losing the game.

ATM with 2 cameras vs.

ATM with 5 cameras and armed guards = higher accuracy... Except for one day they turned it all off and left the machine open with a big sign that said free money.

Why ask a question if you're not prepared to read the answers?

Well, you've both made some bad moves, especially early on, but that is to be expected.

The most likely reason why your accuracies are this high is because you've got to the endgame where many moves were equally good so you both had a lot of best moves towards the end. When the game were still balanced, you've had some mistakes.

For instance, towards the beginning, you could've played 4.exf7+ after which he would have to take with the king thus making his king unsafe, and he couldn't castle afterwards. Not only that, but you could have then played Bc4+ which is a free developing move with the tempo. After this, he would either have to move bac his king, or block with his bishop. If he blocks, you exchange bishops and he has king exposed on e6. As he has only 1 developed piece at that moment, you would've had much better position compared to what you had in the game, and on top of that, you would've had 3 pawns more.

Though, if I had to guess, those scores would probably be lower if the game was analyzed on a higher depth.
