Subject: Rating calculations in matches

Author: Vicente Fernández

Suppose two players meet in a 24 game match. How does one calculate the final
ratings? Is it correct to calculate the ratings change after each game result?
Shall I calculate all 24 games according to the initial rating of both players?
Suppose we have a match between two players rated 2000; if player 1 wins all the
games, shall I rate him 24 wins against a 2000 player or should I take into
account the rating changes after each round?

I tried both ways on the CERN Chess Club Elo rating calculator,
http://chess.cern.ch/ratings/elocalc.en.shtml using a progress coeficient of 24,
and the results change in about 6 point. The performance rating is completely
diferent.

Thanks
