Yes, though in the Honinbo book I mentioned there is something like Ishida lost by 0.5pt in one game and in the post-mortem they decided he had played at least the last 100 moves correctly. (from my fuzzy memory - I don't have the book to hand). However he was probably the world's strongest endgame player at the time and at the peak of his concentration.
