This is not a testing problem; it is a normal and desirable result under the circumstances. If you score the *same* percentage as another person, but your opponents are *weaker* than those who played the other person, why should your performance rating be the *same* as the other person, who performed equal percentage *against stronger competition*? Example: You play 6 club players and score 4W - 2L - 0D. Kasparov plays 6 world top ten players and scores 4W - 2L - 0D. Who has the better performance rating? Whose rating should be higher, yours or Kasparov's? --Steve
