Is there a risk that this measure is telling us as much about how likely a match was to contain difficult positions as about how skilled the players were?
For example, Karpov and Kasparov sometimes agreed short draws. I wonder if that is flattering their figures.
- jeremyjh 5y agoDefinitely - if there are lots of good moves to be found accuracy will be higher. This is why when you analyze games for suspicion of cheating you cannot look only at the accuracy figure - you have to take into account how challenging the positions are. Lichess and chess.com both do this but they do not tell us how, for obvious reasons.
