Naturally an excellent result for the top two. In Caruana's case, a gain of eleven rating points would lift him about ten places in the world rankings!
Hou Yifan's thirteen point loss drops her down to virtually the same level as the Kosintseva sisters, so she is in danger of losing her third place in the Women's World rankings.
