November 2015 ratings: Kramnik and ELOjanov

by Albert Silver
10/31/2015 – There was no shortage of results this month, from classical chess in which 34 out of the Top 100 saw swings of at least 10 Elo, to the Rapid and Blitz ratings thanks to the recent World Championships. In classical chess, one of the most visible details was not just Eljanov's gain of 36 Elo and Kramnik's climb back to world no. 4, but that three of the top four players are at least 40 years old.

FIDE November 2015 – Top 100 Players

There is really little one would change in Sagar Shah's comment in his article on the European
Club Cup: "If there was one player who performed phenomenally in the tournament, it has to
be Vladimir Kramnik who scored 4.5/5, beating players like Nepomiachtchi, Topalov, Svidler and
Ivanchuk." With the fantastic result, the former World Champion is back to World no. 4

Pavel Eljanov gained the nickname ELOjanov by his colleagues after his stupendous result
at the World Cup in Baku, in which he gained 36 Elo, and leapt from World no. 32 to no.13

Top climbers and descenders

In a month which saw 34 of the Top 100 players register gains or losses of at least 10 Elo,
Eljanov's giant leap is worth a second mention. Still, also of note was Richard Rapport who
finally stopped his ELOphilia and gained 30.

FIDE Top 100 Women

Overall it was a fairly uneventful month for the top women.... is what has been written of late, but definitely not this month.

All eyes were on the Monaco GP in which both World no. 1 Hou Yifan and Women World Champion
Mariya Muzychuk participated. Hou Yifan won the tournament with a fantastic 9.0/11, but the
Ukrainian did herself great credit by coming in second, and moving to World no. 5. The two will
be playing for the title in March 2016.

FIDE Top 100 Juniors

It is somewhat remarkable that there are no tales of endless Elo gains in the Top Juniors, at least none that showed up in the Top 100. 13-year-old Iranian talent IM Tabatabaei has stabilized his rating, after gaining nearly 300 spread out over the past two years, and is making steady gains once more at 2492 FIDE. He is currently playing in the World Youth championship in Greece, where he is the favorite in the Boys Under-14.

Richard Rapport has finally stopped shedding his rating, after peaking at 2720 in October 2014, and then dropping to 2663 just last month. This last month he put on 30 Elo points to 2693, and his rating is looking much healthier in proportion to his talent.

Samuel Sevian who had suffered a setback after a poor tournament in Lake Sevan and DC, is now back to 2573 inlcuding two draws in classical games against Teimor Radjabov in the World Cup. Not far behind is GM Jeffery Xiong who is at 2550 FIDE.

FIDE Top 100 Girls

In a sense, one might say that the most remarkable result in the Top Girls is no. 3 Davaademberel Nomin-Erdene from Mongolia. The reason is that the 15-year-old saw a massive gain of 500 Elo over the last 18 months, with gains and losses raising her from 1900 FIDE in April 2014 to 2428 FIDE in August 2015. The young woman has never ceased competing, participating in GM and IM tournaments every month and is now a full-fledged IM. The last month she gained just 3 Elo, but obtained by scoring 50% in a GM tournament in Hungary where she faced five grandmasters.

Top 100 Rapid

With the passage of the World Rapid championship, it is more than expected that there would be big results and big swings. The star was without a doubt...

... Magnus Carlsen, who not only successfully defended his title, but took his Rapid rating to
a sublime 2872 after winning with 11.5/15, a full point ahead of....

... Ian Nepomniachtchi, who took silver, who in turn also climbed from World no. 10 to World no. 5.
