Number three and number four on the January 2014 ratings: Nakamura and Kramnik
Another players achieving his personal best is French GM Vachier-Lagrave, rated 2745 and now world 15th. Vishy Anand lost a couple of points from his match and is now number nine in the world rankings. There was much ado about his world title being inconsistent with his world ranking, before, during and after the Chennai match. But we remind you that Vladimir Kramnik was rated 2729 in 2006, whilst still World Champion, and he was ranked world ninth. Look at him now. In any case, with the upcoming super tournaments of Wijk aan Zee and Zurich there will be a shakeup at the top once more.

A curious note is that Ukraine now has seven players rated 2700, the most ever, and the only country except Russia to have so many.
The above image by Michal Paterek shows us that the total number of rated players is a tiny fraction of the total population of the world: 0.0024%.
And this graph (click to enlarge) breaks them down by region and playing strength. We will be bringing you Michal's wonderful graphics soon, in a separate report.
Here's a list of all players from the top 100 who gained or lost five or more points in the past month. We have colour coded them for your convenience. After playing around with the intensity of red and green (Naiditsch and Shirov being the darkest) we decided against the rainbow table that resulted.

In the top juniors 17-year-old Hungarian Richard Rapport is one small step away from joining the 2700 club. 14-year-old Chinese prodigy Wei Yi, the youngest grandmaster alive, is very close to entering the absolute Top 100. At 2607 FIDE, he is 45 Elo short of the 2652 entry fee. Although the record for the youngest ever is spoken for (Judit Polgar at age 12), the second youngest is currently held by both Teimour Radjabov and Sergey Karjakin at age 15. The Chinese player may still one-up them for that.
