My accuracy is higher in bullet and blitz then rapid lol

Because you play obviously safe moves in a faster limit.

Now mine is down to 79.6% in blitz over about 500 games

There is a potential source of bias in the accuracy averages - it is affected by whether you more often analyse your wins or your losses.

I usually play drier openings, so I am able to get higher accuracy scores (at least that's my theory)

 I am impressed!  Your accuracy is really low for your high rating - a bit lower than mine despite being ~500 points stronger at blitz. At standard time controls someone whose average accuracy is that low would have a rating below 1000.

What it shows is that the relationship between accuracy and rating is quite loose. Some people play accurately, others are great fighters. (Just one way I think of it).

At blitz, people often play some days for fun and other days more seriously. Since the accuracy score includes those fun games pro rata, the average is not a true reflection.

Furthermore and talking about fighting, firstly it's obvious that the analysis accuracy tool is inaccurate anyhow: but when a player is losing, they are likely to deliberately make what the app considers to be inaccurate moves because they give the best chance of counter-tactics. I've won many such games, otb, at slow time controls, despite being very down on time in the last stages of a game, when the opponent is maybe tired, gets flustered and falls for a trap when the losing side sets up a highly imbalanced and perhaps confusing position.

Accuracy score is therefore a matter of playing style and it doesn't mean so much, given that the tool cannot distinguish when inaccurate moves SHOULD be made.

You people just don’t know the best accuracy… Mine is - - !!!!!

My accuracy is usually above 70. So in the past 90 days it's 74, and in the past week it's 74.4.

The objective of chess is getting points. Accuracy is some sort of quantification of quality, but it is interesting how different it is from the quantification that is a rating, based simply on the true objective.

69,6% since I started in Nov 2020. 77.7 over the last month (1200). There is clearly not much  correlation between the game level and accuracy score in blitz.

81.4 That seems higher than normal, but I play 5/5 and time out in 40 percent of my losses. My ten minute rapid and 5/5 blitz have comparable accuracy ratings, bit higher in rapid. I started playing after a long layoff and can still find accurate moves, just can't think fast enough to play faster time controls.

Mine is only 68.4 despite my reasonably high blitz rating. Not really surprising, I play very sharp dubious openings and favour messy, complicated positions where nobody has any idea what's going on.

76.9 which is hard to believe as I still miss stuff and even drop pieces in blitz off and on.

I know. When I play really badly, miss all sorts of stuff and get a lucky win, I get 90.2% and that sort of thing. When I play really quite well and don't make mistakes, I get 84%. It may be all cocked up.

what is a good accuracy for 3|2 blitz?

Avatar of Elroch

Like ratings, it's all relative. I think of 80 as being ok.

Avatar of CrystalChandeliers

72.7 but I've only played one blitz game on this site! It was a wild game in which I played four "great" moves and my opponent one "great" and one "brilliant" move (though he still lost) as I recall. Also a number of mistakes on both sides.
