Hello Ratko,
In my opinion the simplest formula is PR= Rc +400(W-L)/N. (No need for Log
table)  Where:
PR=Performance Rating
Rc=Average rating of opponents
W=Wins
L=Losses

Example. You play 5 games vs opponents averaging 1900.  You have 3 wins 1 loss
and 1 draw.
PR=1900 + 400(3-1)/5
PR=1900 + 400x2/5
PR=1900 + 800/5
PR=1900 + 160 = 2060
