To calculate rating performance use <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://chessscotland.com/grading/expect.htm">http://chessscotland.com/grading/expect.htm</a><!-- m --> . To get the number to use then add up your score (3.5) and divide it by no. of games (5) which gives you 0.7. Your average opps is 2098 so this is a tpr of 2098 +150 = 2248. You might still have gained points from this performance however as that is based on (actual score - expected).
Thanks Hamish. If I work out the games indivdually I am expected to score 0.911 + 0.364 + 0.918 + 0.577 + 0.5 = 3.270 against my actual of 3.5. Is this what you mean by I might still have gained some points?
It's not hugely important, but I set myself some goals this season one of which was to reach 2300. Not going to make it this year although I feel there is a definite improvement in my chess (apart from some serious calculation problems, believe it or not, which most people I've mentioned it to find extremely amusing!?)
Anyway, I now have Jacob Aagaard's workbook on Calculation (from the Grandmaster Preparation series) which I am hoping will sort this out over the summer
