Comments.Text: First thing. Congratulations, looks like you are doing well. Secondly I'll have a look see if I can figure it out. The ELO calculation is a little goofy though so I'll see what I can figure out. the main issue you'll find is what's called the k value. Hopefully fide provides that because it's a chore to work backwards and figure out

Comments.Text: K is not really problematic to figure out: K = 40 for a player new to the rating list until he has completed events with at least 30 games
  K = 20 as long as a player's rating remains under 2400.
  K = 10 once a player's published rating has reached 2400 and remains at that level subsequently, even if the rating drops below 2400.
  K = 40 for all players until their 18th birthday, as long as their rating remains under 2300.
  K = 20 for RAPID and BLITZ ratings all players. (https://ratings.fide.com/calc.phtml?page=change)

Comments.Text: Hi that appears correct in your instance but it appears your opponents case it is. In regards to your rating your calculations look right, FIDE often drag the chain a bit and even though the results are there the initial rating hasn't been assigned. The two aren't dependent for some silly reason. If it's more than 2 months engage them directly
