Anand crosses 2800 and leads the October 2007 FIDE ratings

10/2/2007 – FIDE didn't make the mistake of not including the world championship in their latest rating list, and must be commended for publishing it just hours after the tournament had ended. The result was that Anand gained nine points and crossed the magic 2800 mark. But guess who is now in place two, overtaking Kramnik and Topalov with a whopping 25 point increase. None other than Vassily Ivanchuk!
