November 2014 ratings – minor adjustments

FIDE November 2014 – Top 100 Players

The climbers at the top of the list are Anand, Giri, So and Gelfand. Fabiano Caruana lost five points and the gap between him and the now perennial leader, Magnus Carlsen, has widened to 24 points. We see two females in the top 100: Judit Polgar on place 69 and Hou Yifan on 71. The rating difference is just two points, and it remains to be seen whether Yifan will overtake Judit before the latter is removed from the list (due to inactivity – after all she has recently retired from competitive chess).

20-year-old Ray Robson seems set to become the next American to break into the absolute Top 100, after good results in both the Millionaire and SPICE Cup events that gained him 23 points. He is currently rated 2651. Wei Yi also closed in at 2649 and should soon become the fourth youngest ever in the Top 100.

Top climbers and descenders

This is the list that some people enjoy most, especially those who are prone to schadenfreude. Cuban GM Leinier Dominguez dropped 25 points in 11 games (minus five in the FIDE Grand Prix Series 2014-2015, in Baku) and Le Quang Liem of Vietnam who lost 28 points in 18 games (he lost 17 at the Millionaire, and 11 at SPICE Cup).

FIDE Top Women

As mentioned above there are two players in the top 100 in the world, and one of them is due for retirement from the list. We watch our Chinese friend Yifan with especial pleasure and pride – she has been a loyal friend since she was thirteen. At the same time we bemoan the loss of 23 points by Harika Dronavalli, another pal whom we wish nothing but the best (Bela Khotenashvili lost 19 points, but... never met this lady).
