I consider myself a somewhat below average player. Probably more aggressive than I should be. My rating is probably a little low as I lose patience with players who sign up for 300 games and then can find time to move only once a week. At that point I just resign and move on to a game with someone else. Tournament games included. So if you want to win just stall. These are games to be played not savored over a lifetime. It should not take three months to finish one round of a tournament. Newly developed frustration is a game which cannot be won but the player refuses to use the resign button. Some people need to learn how to lose with grace.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
