No.
Did Caruana set the highest performance rating ever at the Sinquefield Cup?

Strongest tournament + one of the Highest Win/loss ratios = highest performance... it's basic mathematics.
one of... but not the strongest...

Wesley So scored 9/9 in the 2011 Inter-Provincial Chess Team Championship, with a performance rating of 3037,[60][61] won the gold medal in men's blitz at the SEA Games 2011 at Indonesia with a score of 9/9 and a rating performance of 3183,[62] and won the 2013 Calgary International Blitz Championship with a score of 9/9.[63]
Where did you learn mathematics?

MIT
oh dear... hasn't served you well then...

Wahttttt? I don't understand how being able to discern numberical differences in a performance rating is at all relevant to my mathematics education... but okay....
Wesley So was playing much weaker players... and I literally can't find anything on Wesley So getting a 3183 performance rating (calculations that is...)nor do I care to find out all the players he played against... so If you would like to submit your calculations... I'll happily take a look.
You were the one who said it was basic mathematics... it's simple arithmetic, actually.
The fact that you don't understand underlines my point that your mathematics eductaion hasn 't served you well.
His opposition being weaker is besides the point, the OP asked if Caruana's TPR of 3098 was the highest ever. My basic high school education is enough to tell me that 3183 is greater than 3098, therefore, Caruana's TPR of 3098 is not the highest ever.

1. It is basic math... that doesn't somehow negate the fact it's tedious...
2. You have yet to demonstrate the math is sound or the site is credible
3. Back up your claims or you're wasting your time.
I already have... 3183 is greater than (ie, a bigger number) than 3098.
If you don't believe that, i suggest you should perhaps ask your tutor.
You're right about one thing though, i am wasting my time...

I said to go ask your tutor...
3183 minus 3098 was 85 last time i looked.
It would seem your education at MIT has been a complete waste of time too...

So in other words you haven't a clue how to do it, right?
Yeah, simple subtraction really gets me every time...

Then perhaps you should tell us all why it is 3098 is greater than 3183...

Mathemagics isn't asking 3183-3098,stupid. He's asking for the calculations that made Wesley So's performance rating 3183.
You are just making up numbers if you say his performance rating is 3183. Your source isn't exactly reliable either.
If i said (insert any GM here)'s highest TPR is 4000 would you believe me?
Of course not,cause i didn't show the solution that made his/her TPR 4000.
You need to stop posting if you keep making stupid posts like these.

There's nothing stupid about it, numpty.
If he wants more proof he can go do the hard work for himself.

Nice work... the proof is sound.
So, can i presume you can't answer my question?
Surely can't be compared with a blitz performance.
I think it is the highest classical tournament performance.

I'm pretty sure that the deal was that Caruana set the highest (maybe one of the highest, but I'm pretty sure it was the highest) performance ratings excluding picket fences. Any GM can picket fence some weaker tournament and get a ridiculous performance rating.
Most GMs that are higher rated will avoid 'weaker' tournaments as you put it because they would consider it to put their rating at risk should they not do so well.

If you made a statement to that effect, i couldn't argue against it without going through some figures to come up with my own calculation...

It's not a matter of me not being able to! which clearly you are too imbecilic to be able to discern from our communication thus far.
talk about twisted logic...
3183 is greater than 3098, whichever way you try to move the goalposts...
As for the level of opposition, that is already factored into the TPR calculations. The OP's original question, if you remember, was whether Caruana's TPR of 3098 was the highest ever. When someone else has a TPR of 3183, then the answer to the OP's question clearly is no!

...but like i said earlier, you're right about one thing mathemagics, i am wasting my time
Seems like he must have right? His 3098 blows away anything else I've seen.
