Using the rating calculator found here: http://wolf.project-w.com/prog/rating/ With a starting ELO of 2600, playing against opponents of 2600 ELO, and scoring 1% of the points (a TPR of 1800) would give a new ELO of 2592 (which is a difference of 8 ELO). However, I see that the number of different opponents you face has a big impact on the calculation. So, if you played a 100 game match against a single opponent, it would not hurt much if you lost every game. But if you played 100 single games against different opponents and lost them all, it would cost a lot. So (after all) it would not be so drastic as 1800 play to drop to 2400, but still you would have to play very deeply below your original ability. Since the calculation is much more complicated than I thought, I won't bother to try to calculate the exact figure. But I think it is obvious enough that to drop to 2500 from 2600+ you would have to play well below your former ability.
