It is, yes. For a game to be rated, both players must play at least one move.Christopher Kreuzer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 11:19 pmIt seems Carlsen gained 3 rating points. Not helped by the win by default over Duda in the final round. So he really got 9.5/12 for rating purposes, is that right?

Thanks, Jack. I meant Dubov, not Duda, of course!
The exchange sacrifice win by Carlsen over Caruana looks impressive. Is that a pretty standard exchange sacrifice combination (getting at least two pawns for the exchange), or is it a 'hard' one to judge at the point it was made? It did seem obvious within a few moves that Caruana would struggle to hold that position.

His overall score (including the Dubov default) was 9.5/13. Without the default it's 8.5/12.IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 11:21 pmIt is, yes.
