Your normal rating, lets use 1500 as an example is how youve performed over all the tournaments you have been in.
Your performance rating is how you performed in one specific tournament.
For example, if you play your first tournament and are given a rating of 1500, your performance for that tournament is 1500.
Now at your second tournament you perform at 2000 level, this is only for the specific tournment, your actual rating would probably be averaged between them to 1750.
What is a "Performance Rating"?

Man this really has me thinking about entering a tournament this summer. Not sure if i have enough time to prepare for it.
In order to get a better 'performance rating' in a tournament, you either have to:
A. Achieve the same results against stronger opponents, or
B. Achieve better results against opponents of the same strength as in previous tournaments.
There really is no way for anyone to accurately answer your question, because no one knows how well you will do in your next tournament. A performance rating is basically just a number based on your results in a single event based on the ratings of your opponents and your score against them.
The only time i know it seriously comes into play is when you want to be a titled player.

not really, you have to acheive a performance rating above your actual rating for your actual rating to move up. If you perform below your rating, its obviously going down.
Most players aim to improve, rating is an indicator of improvement, therefor the performance rating is important even to lower players (assuming theyre serious about improving).
lowering your rating can get you in easier tournaments, so there is a benefit to have a horrible opening. however many times the other person don'
t know how to react so i end up winning. i call this the troll's attack
Hi, I was looking at my ratings and 1 thing caught my attention, which is the performance rating.
So, what is performance rating and why is it averaging with my old rating to create my new rating (see chart below)? If I play in more tournaments, would I get higher "performance" ratings?
