Centipawn Loss shows 0! But not all my moves were the best moves.

Link to the Game (Cick on Open to view the Analysis): lichess.org/8U6y5fjW/black

I just finished playing this game and analyzing it. The computer analysis showed me only 1 inaccuracy and 0 mistakes and 0 blunders. But, not all my moves were best moves (i.e. I was accumulating centipawn loss through the game). Yet, after the computer analysis ended, it showed me 0 (Zero) Centipawn Loss.

Any Thoughts??
yeah, you cheated and your opponent didn't, congratulations
It can happen if your opponent made a huge blunder (and in this case, they did). I think that the analysis basically stops counting inaccuracies/mistakes/blunders when one side has a huge advantage. For instance, on move 15 you went from a -19.3 advantage to a -16.6 advantage. Since your advantage decreased by almost 300 centipawns, it normally would have been classed as a blunder, but since you're still totally winning with a -16.6 advantage, it's not counted. Hope that makes sense.

Edit: @IambHathor This is not evidence of cheating. It is a quirk of how the analysis works when one side already has a huge advantage.
# he cheated bacuase he won when his opponent blundered his queen?
Well just to clarify the obvious, I didn't cheat.

@IambHathor How have you came to this conclusion is beyond me.

@hasc Thnx for the clarification. It's insightful :)

@asterakos lol i guess ppl just choose to be "simple minded" on the internet forum. just let/her him be.
Well, you can't count this as cheating because most of the moves were pretty obvious.
Sorry I just assumed that the 1600 rated player was cheating with 0 ACPL but apparently he only likes playing people that are about 1000 points below his real playing strength.

My apologies.
Don't feed the troll.
As for the game, I believe analysis does not count centipawn loss above 10 pawns, so any suboptimal moves you made later (including 1 inaccuracy) were not added to the centipawn loss.
@Allonautilus
Thnx for the advice lol.
Thnx for the insight also. Yea, it seems that the algorithm has a bug somewhere that just disregards mistakes or even blunders later on if there is a huge advantage. It shows me that not all centipawn values I get are to be considered absolute.
Thnx again.
