Hari salvaged some pride with a win in the last round after the disastrous loss to Zhao Xue in the penultimate round...
Adhiban shocked Short in the final round, fantastic stuff......

All said and done, Hari is only gaining 1.2 ELO from this tournament.....

Chanda & Tania had a bad tournament losing 15 & 19 ELO respectively......
Chanda has been on a decline ever since, god knows when.......

Not necessarily. Chess ratings doesn't work on the final rank, but depends on the result based on the difference between the player's and opponent's rating. More of a probability type of calculation...

All said and done, SS Ganguly actually gains 2 ELO...
