What you obviously are unable to understand (or comprehend) is that Adams >FIDE rating is 2737. This is not his USCF rating. This is a tempest in a teapot. Terry is correct that the result will not be correct if you use a USCF formula with a FIDE rating. And you are correct that the result will be very close. 4.92/6 as Uri calculated will give Hydra very nearly a performance rating of 3000 FIDE. Terry did the right thing extending the olive branch. You did the wrong thing ignoring it. Best Dan H.
