Well, while I'm not Asle I'll feel free to post a reply nonetheless: (Unfortunatelly), this is indeed his performace rating and thus, according to the elo system as stated on the FESA site, his entrance rating in the el= o list. If you take a closer look at the tournament results you'll see how this came to pass: He lost to Skotniki, who is rated 1001 only. Skotniki's huge increase in elo points in this tournament indicates, that he is underrated. But that has no influence on the calculation for Matsumoto.=20 But since his rating is provisional, rating changes resulting from games against him will be scaled down for the next 12 games. So his opponents wil= l hopefully not be TOO disgruntled.
