That's not true about Elo being updated particularly at the end of tournaments - either official/FIDE ratings or live ratings. I heard (possibly from the Chess24 commentators) that if their difference in rating was 4 or more, each draw would bring them closer together in live rating - Magnus would lose rating with each draw; but as it's 3, their ratings don't change. i.e. anacleto was right, thomasahle wrong. Also, Elo isn't an acronym (ELO) as one might think - it's named after its inventor Arpad Elo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system Interestingly, when I first looked at this page, most of the good/correct comments were voted down, most of the bad ones not, it was weird. (It made me suspect that other HN pages are like that but I don't know it! - I know chess better than most subjects discussed on here) But that has now almost totally been corrected.
