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

@abdelnaji I checked your profile and your rapid rating is 900

BUCKLEYNYC

75% would already be a pretty good rate for 900

90% accuracy is not something you need to get at that rating, but obviously really good if you do

88.888888%

Dude the accuracy counter only does tenths on the right side of the decimal if your accuracy is not a whole number

Above 90% is great.

I agree

It depends on your ambition. 

But there are classical chess games which are in books with just around 80%.

Chess.com's accuracy stat has no bearing on whether I would consider a game "good" or not.

A game is "good" if it's a real struggle, a battle of chess ideas.

A walkover might be entertaining, but only rarely would such a one-sided game be "good".

Probably a computer thought is not exactly a human thought.

Right.

Here's a practical example:

Suppose you played a clever combination in the early middle-game, and won a Rook. Now you are a Rook ahead. The HUMAN thing to do now is to switch goals and focus on neutralizing or preventing any possible enemy counter-play... start trading off all the heavy pieces, so that your opponent will have no chance to "muddy the water" and escape from his losing position.

A computer would label this a mistake, because you are not heading for the mathematically quickest win.

I’d say 80+ accuracy is good

My idea of a "good" game... from board 1 of the Team Malaysia vs Team Canada match.

Played at Daily (3 days per move) time controls. I'm Black.

And a chess computer cannot see the emotion, the beauty and the artist side of a chess game. So almost all the romantic positions are not well considered by a bot.
