Default Topalov-Anand Rapid chess rating


Anand and Topalov played on the "ciudad de leon" rapid chess
tournament recently. That tournament affect their official ration or a
"rapid" rating?

FIDE's ratings are only for long games. Specifically, each player
must have at least two hours to make his first sixty moves, possibly
including Fischer-style increments. (I'm assuming here that the
tournament includes at least one 2200+ player; the games can be
quicker if the players are weaker.)

The full regulations for playing rates are at

FIDE don't do rapid ratings.
