World Champion Magnus Carlsen celebrated his 29th birthday yesterday. After a dominating performance in Kolkata, he heads to London with a 50 Elo point margin over number two Fabiano Caruana.
Happy Birthday to Magnus Carlsen! What a year he has had: won 8 super tournaments so far, maintained a record-breaking undefeated streak, founded Offerspill as one of the largest chess clubs in the world and expanded his @PlayMagnus app business venture. https://t.co/SD6HT40SzM pic.twitter.com/wwmmKsdVUb

Alexander Grischuk's win in Hamburg propelled him up from #10 to #5 at a nifty-sounding "twenty-seven seventy-seven". His opponent in the finals, Jan-Krzysztof Duda also had a banner month with 17 games credited and an Elo gain of 10 points bringing thw 21-year old to with striking distance of the top 10.
Who's the youngest member of the top 50? That would be Alireza Firouzja, born in 2003, who remains at number 29. And the oldest? Vassily Ivanchuk, who turned 50 earlier this year, recently won the Peace Tournament in Zagreb, and is virtually kissing 2700 once again. Fellow-1969er Viswanathan Anand will join him in the 50-club in ten days time. He's slipped to #15.

The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings which continues to enjoy high popularity from club level to the absolute world top. In this video series, American super GM Fabiano Caruana, talking to IM Oliver Reeh, presents a complete repertoire for White.

Alexei Shirov had an excellent month, becoming Spanish Champion. The biggest gainer of the month, however was Gawain Jones who posted good numbers in both the European Team Championship and especially the European Club Cup where he scored 5/6. His compatriot David Howell was a mirror image to the downside, and slipped to #5 in England. But he was in good spirits during a visit to the ChessBase offices in Hamburg, for an hour with Endgame Magic host Karsten Mueller.

Hou Yifan's participation in the German League opening weekend ensures that she remains world number #1 for at least another year, despite being largely inactive during her Oxford studies.

Magnus Carlsen was impressive in the Tata Steel Rapid and Blitz. He rocketed up 37 Elo points in rapid, to firmly retake the top spot from Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Wesley So cratered 51 points and is down to 2751. But the number of players over 2800 nevertheless increased by one with the addition of Anton Korobov and Grischuk.
