Edinburgh Congress grading

[hamish olson]

Yes, despite having a tpr of 1 point less than your rating you will have gained rating points (I think - the fact that you have increased your number of games increases the factor that your increase per game is divided by but I think you will still gain points). This is basically because you have played someone more than 400 points below you so the expected score gets stuck at 0.918 until you reach 735 points below your grade when the game doesn't count (unless you don't win...) but the tpr uses the actual grade I think.
N.B. none of this is gospel - wouldn't be surprised at all if there's something I've misunderstood about this stuff.
