Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
Magnus Carlsen's year was unusual, with a spotty start and a steady
loss of Elo that led to cosiderable speculation on what the problem might
be, but back to back wins in December in London and Qatar have helped
re-affirm his undisputed no. 1 status at 2844.
After failing to perform well in the 2014 Candidates, Vladimir Kramnik had seemed to lose
his drive and his rating dropped to 2760. But steady gains this year have not only brought
him back to 2800 for the first time since 2013, but world no. 2

Although one could point out the slight loss of rating by the world no.1 Hou Yifan, or the slightly larger loss by Nana Dzagnidze, of real note is the rise of 15-year-old Davaadembere Nomin-Erdene from Mongolia, whose meteoric ascent from 1900 in 2014 to 2468 in the latest list, has also been marked by a consistent improvement all the way, and not by any single leap. This last month was the result of tournaments in Hungary and Italy. Impressive.

Without a doubt the name to look out for is Alireza Firouzja from Iran, only 12-years old
and 2455 FIDE. Not only has he gone from a rating of 1954 FIDE in March 2014, to 2455
now, but not once was it done in any leap of more than 100 Elo. Even now his rating rose
83 Elo thanks to two events, of which one was the Qatar Open where he scored 50% against
a field of 7 GMs and 2 IMs, for a 2534 performance.
