Not quite. There is also a "rules infraction" where failure to adhere to the laws of chess OR the event regulations can cause you to lose.

Murdering your opponent will almost definitely be considered a rule infraction.

Although there might be some edge cases if the murderer was an absolute ruler of the current country. Or maybe if you happened to kill your opponent in self defense somehow.
