is 83 a good percentage against stockfish?

Depends on your rating, but in general thats decent especially if you are under 1200, though personally i wouldn’t be happy with it.

Depends what rating you've got Stockfish set to. It's easy to get a high rating against a blunderer, but much harder against near perfect play.

Most people don't fully understand how game "accuracy" actually works and what it is for. The "accuracy" is not from Stockfish directly, it is from chess.com's "game report" and the accuracy is also known as "CAPS" or Computer Aggregated Percentage Score.

It was designed to give you an estimate of how you played. I think 83% is pretty good. It depends on the game and the situation though; even running the same game at a deeper engine depth can change the accuracy score, so it isn't a precise measurement. It is just an estimate and a fun tool for quickly assessing blunders and places to improve.

Nah bro chess.com accuracy is trash.... anything above 75 is good....u just have to see how many blunders/mistakes u made that's it

lol I wouldn't say "trash", but I will say that many people mis-interpret how to use the information of "accuracy." It is "trash" if you have false expectations for it and how it is calculated, but if you take it as an estimate and look at other statistics too, then it has some value to it.

I played a nearly perfect game and it gave me just 84% which is ridiculous

I once had a 93% accuracy with one miss.
