What accuracy % do you consider a “good” game?

Obviously it's a good game when you win, no matter the accuracy percentage.

95% accuracy is still 5% INACCURACY.

... 98% isn't all that hot, either, come to think of it.

98 is good, really anything above 90 should be considered good

Notice in that print-out - a 31-move insanely complex tactical melee, with pieces literally being sacriced back and forth by both players, and I played ONE move that wasn't either Book, Best, Great or Brilliant.

I like to aim for 100.0% accuracy, and 100.0% at the most.

I regularly play moves that preserve the win when they're given as an inaccuracy but all the moves preferred by the engine drop the win. Or i used to when I took Daily seriously.

Correct.

One of the main reasons that the computer's "accuracy" stat is almost meaningless is that Humans and Engines have very different priorities.

Once a Human player gains a winning advantage, his number one priority will be to suppress the opponent's counter-play (eg: by trading down into a clearly won endgame) and to prevent the opponent from "muddying the waters" with complications and perhaps escaping with a draw.

Humans go for the CLEAREST win.

Engines have other priorities. Engines go for the SHORTEST win.

This necessarily means that a move that is (not just "seems", but "is") accurate from a Human perspective is considered inaccurate from an Engine perspective.

As a 700 ish rated player anything above an 80/85 is good.

No. I don't even OWN an engine. I've never used them for prep.

I think anything above 80% is good

92.5% for daily. And the other time controls? whatever, just the win.

Oh no, it wasn't a quote to your comment.

The whole concept is pointless. It depends on position. If your opponent blunders he would make it easier for you to score higher result. Therefore, it mainly depends on the opponent (and the position), but to be honest, to SOME extent also on your skill level. As an example, I win random queen vs rook position with 95 to 100% even against the strongest stock fish level. I doubt every grandmaster could achieve the same result playing the same endgame against me.

above 81 I once got kicked out in the middle of a game and lost giving me and my opponent 100 percent

I know, I know, and now you can't hold your head up for the shame of it.

It's a good thing I'm not Japanese, or I might be expected to commit seppuku.

... dodged a bullet THERE!
