They all count! Nigel Davies had a winning advantage (+3.3) but blundered horribly with 42. h5?? allowing Qh3+ 0-1.

Re: Hull 4NCL GM Norm Event
... whereas just a couple of moves before hand, Davies had the chance to play a swift Qh5-g6 mate!
Agree that they all count. Shreyas has had some decent positions, and whilst no one should have expected him to make many points - indeed, one might have expected him to make less than he might have deserved, against such experienced opposition - to have made zero would not have done him justice, as well as being depressing. Eg although Davies was winning towards the end, for most of the game it had been roughly balanced, and there is always the chance that such a game might suddenly fluctuate in either or (as in this case) both directions.
