Accuracy in over the board games.

In over the board games, Does the accuracy matter to gain Fide elo points? Or do you just gain specific elo for the games you win?

In over-the-board games, you gain points when you win.

You may also gain some points by drawing against a higher-rated player.

Accuracy does not matter, only the result and the ELO difference have an impact on the gain/loss of ELO points.

Edit: to gain FIDE ELO points, you need to play in FIDE rated tournament. They have a ELO rating calculator on their website: https://ratings.fide.com/calc.phtml?page=change
