In all cases Smirin has won the match. In the world championships of the past
did they continue play after one player had reached 12.5 points (or 12 for the
defending champion)? No, because the winner had been determined. So this match
is "over" in that sense, but if you are going by "we don't know by how much
Smirin will win" then it's not completed yet.
