	2625 is Yermolinsky's rating before each event, which remained unchanged for
the six-month period. The last column is the rating change for the respective
event. Adding (-1.6)+(-6.3)+(-9.5)+(6)+(-7.5)+(-6.6)+(9.1)+(-12) gives -28.4,
that is the total rating change. Now we add 2625+(-28.4) and we get 2596.6,
which rounded to integer gives 2597, Yermolinsky's current rating.
