Malta Concluded

I FINISHED Malta by drawing with White this morning against a 2075.
That left me with a score of +4=3-2 for a Fide elo gain of 13.8.
I should be pretty pleased with that, but one of my losses was against an unrated player (although he has an ECF of 142), so my tournament performance was not as good as the rating gain would suggest.
In 2017, my first year playing in Malta, I scored a slightly more-modest +3=4-2, but gained 21.2 elo.
To be fair, my rating at this time last year was 1859, against 1940 now, so it was easier to gain elo. Even so, my performance last year was definitely better.
