“3057 performance”
Sorry, but these TPRs are so weird sometimes…
if you’re one of the highest rated and you just win everything against lower rated players, you have a ‘performance’ of 200-300 points above your rating, LOL
Astounding. Keep it up, kid.
According to the website, Marie Sebag also beat GM Kasimdzhanov in the tournament!
Performance rating is mathematically undefined for perfect scores and zero scores. In this case, they are probably using some linearized approximation such as the +- 400 rule.
Why would you call :Zaragatski, Ilja GER 2480: a “big name”? Just another untitled player with temporary rating higher than usual. It’s ridicule to call him big.
Zaragatski, Ilja GER 2480 has beaten Tivjakov in this tournament…
