[@yetanother7428]

Just a small technicality.... 400 point difference means odds of 1 : 10, that is, you win 1, and they win 10, therefore, they beat you 10 times out of 11, instead of what you said "9 times out of 10". By the way, 400 point difference is 1 : 10 and, 800 point difference in 1 : 100. And I made the calculation, 1000 point difference is approximately 1 : 316 !!!

Wait, how does this make 19.4 accuracy if it's just 2 mistakes, 2 inaccuracies and 0 blunders? Does she have to make the best move each and every time?

[@The678error]

Yes

Your accuracy depends on your response to your oppontent's moves

[@dex6316]

Accuracy is determined by how much advantage you lose compared to the best move. If your opponent is consistently playing the best/book move which is pretty much what Hikaru did, your accuracy will be much lower.

@@Vital_Velocity have evidence?

[@FlashGamer521]

Accuracy does not factor in Elo. It's just an average of your relative advantage after each move. It's pretty easy to test. Next time you are in a winning position, just make a bunch of nonsense moves instead of making a quick mate -- you too will have a stupidly high accuracy.

[@resu2026]

@@FlashGamer521 Ok. Why 19% then?

[@FlashGamer521]

​@@resu2026 The opening is always factored in keeping the average somewhat aloft. Take this example.Turn 1 their position is fine. Every turn their position gets 5% worse until turn 6 where the exposed their king giving the opponent has a forced mate (so their relative strength 0). Turn 1: (100)/1 = 100% Turn 2: (100+95)/2 = 97.5% Turn 3: (100+95+90)/3 = 95% Turn 4: (100+95+90+85)/4 = 92.5% Turn 5: (100+95+90+85+80)/5 = 90% Turn 6: (100+95+90+85+80+0)/6 = 75%
