When I cross table my games i get table with this columns. Could
someone explain their meaning? I understand what's the last one, but
first numeric column is unclear. It must be some kind of rating, but
what are additional numbers with + or -?


Here's another:

10th Amitie, Bagneux FRA 2002

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
1 Seres,L 2465 -3 * ½ 1 ½ 1 1 ½ ½ ½ ½ 6.0/9 26.75
2 Payen,A 2355 +118 ½ * ½ ½ ½ ½ 1 1 ½ 1 6.0/9 24.50
3 Brochet,P 2425 +40 0 ½ * 1 ½ 0 1 1 1 1 6.0/9 23.75
4 Le Quang,K 2270 +131 ½ ½ 0 * ½ 1 ½ 1 1 0 5.0/9
5 Zigura,O 2400 -51 0 ½ ½ ½ * 1 0 ½ ½ 1 4.5/9
6 De Sousa,Jos 2300 +20 0 ½ 1 0 0 * ½ ½ ½ 1 4.0/9 16.75
7 Mohandesi,S 2355 -40 ½ 0 0 ½ 1 ½ * ½ 0 1 4.0/9 16.00
8 Nguyen Chi Minh 2355 -40 ½ 0 0 0 ½ ½ ½ * 1 1 4.0/9 14.75
9 Peyrat,O 2300 -19 ½ ½ 0 0 ½ ½ 1 0 * ½ 3.5/9
10 Philippe,C 2310 -169 ½ 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 ½ * 2.0/9

Average elo: 2353 = Category: 5



final position / name of player / Elo / their performance (+/-) / actual
crosstable with individual game results/ final score out of total games
played / SB points

And of course the average Elo of the players and Category of the
tournament.

I don't exactly know how the performance rating works, but AFAIK the
principle is that if you lose all your games you have a -400 performance
and if you win all your games you have a +400 performance.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong - which is highly likely.

If I happen to be right, mr. Seres here has a negative performance of -3
and thus a tournament performance rating of 2462 instead of the 2465 we
expected from him. OTOH mr. Le Quang performed 2270+131 = 2401.

I guess you're familiar with the SB-points.
