More on Battle of GM's and GM Wesley So

While checking the International Chess Results database, I found that there isn't a result for the Wesley So - Darwin Laylo game posted, however, without hearing about a game taking place, it seems that the GM Antonio Jr - GM Wesley So results have been resinstated. Perhapes because GM Antonio Jr and GM Eugenio Torre drew, I don't know. With the Draw by GM Antonio, Jr it would have left him with 6.5 points to So's 7.5 after round 10. But I found on another page that GM So has 8 points, so he must have drawn vs GM Laylo. With no reason to play the game, I imagine they just let the previous results stand, as I haven't found a replayed game. But found these results posted interesting, note that GM So hadn't finished his game with GM Laylo, but the round 6 controversial game is a draw as before. Strange days indeed...

But it does appear the final results are in, it appears that GM So and Laylo drew, even not posted, I will post final standings as well, even though the final round pairings and results haven't been updated yet.
