Scared after 99% accuracy

Sort:
RubyLykos

Hello,

I am generally a really bad player, but every now and then, I play a game with 99% accuracy. Note that this doesn't actually mean I am good. It's usually against a bad opponent who plays super aggressive and super bad. Like, he pretty much forces me into taking all his pieces because he is making checks and threats all the time until he has no pieces left. And then I check and to my surprise, some of these games have 99% accuracy.

But now I am worried that I will fall under cheating detection eventually. Has anyone of you had problems with this?

It’s not a problem for me, cos usually it’s me who’s chucking all his pieces away ! 😤

If you are playing fair, you have nothing to worry about.

The 99% accuracy is a bit of a lie. You need to go the "Details" tab and look for the Best Move %.

Use an engine on the other games where you play worse so it doesn’t look suspicious

Sounds like a good idea.

Yes you just can’t cheat or get help from a better player

I get high 90% a lot when I was lower rated because I played even worse players, but I somehow never got banned either, which tells there's probably a system to differentiate between between good playing compared to the opponent and engine cheating.

Yes, when an opponent plays poorly, the best move is generally obvious. However, analysis can sometimes be "funny". I have seen moves I thought were great at the time, analyzed as just so-so or mistakes; while moves I wondered about turn out to be excellent or best.

Haha, yes, that can happen. I had it as well. For example I was winning the queen and then he resigned. But really he should just leave me the queen and then if I take it he has a complicated mate in 8. So technically it's a blunder, but on human level it's understandable that he didn't see it and resigned.

Here´s one. I´m threatening checkmate and the Queen. One simple move can save the game, but the 2000 couldn´t find it and resigned.

This is a very very nice example. I was thinking for quite a while. I thought: How can this be so difficult. But how can black possibly save this? Let's go through all moves. No, no, no. Damn, no move works. But one single move is supposed to be enough. This is a really nice defensive puzzle. Oooh. I see. Ooof. Yes. Missed that. Yes. I am stupid.
