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.
Let's take a look at how the fourteen games at the Candidates Tournament effected the ratings of the top players in the April 2014 list:
The big winner is of course Anand, whose +3 result gained him fifteen rating points and pushed him back to rank three in the world, whereas Kramnik's 50% lost him four points and his third place in the world rankings. It is interesting to see that losing 18 points – eighteen! – left Levon Aronian still firmly entrenched in place two, 27 points ahead of Anand. Of course the Carlsen guy, who was on the sidelines watching his potential rivals, remains up there somewhere in the stratosphere.

Here's a list of all players from the top 100 who gained or lost five or more points in the past month. Noteworthy is Karjakin's six point climb from ninth to seventh place, and Topalov's 13-point loss and descent from place four to eight. Lower down the list you some extraordinary changes: Harikrishna, Andreikin, Rapport, Motylev (+29!) in a positive sense, and Bacrot, Malakhov, Korobov and Khismatullin (-33!) all having had a bad month. The most prolific players were Navara from the Czech Republic and Chinese GMs Li Chao and Ding Liren, all three with 20 or more games.

In the top juniors 17-year-old Hungarian Richard Rapport is one small step away from joining the 2700 club. 14-year-old Chinese prodigy Wei Yi, the youngest grandmaster alive, is very close to entering the absolute Top 100. At 2607 FIDE, he is 45 Elo short of the 2652 entry fee. Although the record for the youngest ever is spoken for (Judit Polgar at age 12), the second youngest is currently held by both Teimour Radjabov and Sergey Karjakin at age 15. The Chinese player may still one-up them for that.
