ChessBase 17 - Mega package - Edition 2024
It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it. Start your personal success story with ChessBase and enjoy the game even more.
The first big news of the August ratings list is right there in number three. Fabiano Caruana has broken into the 2800 club, rarefied ground indeed. It is true that he had done this twice already in the live ratings, but being 2800 for a day is not quite the same thing as appearing on the official monthly ratings lists.
It seemed a matter of time after arriving so close, so many times, but Caruana finally broke 2800
The second, and probably biggest is down at 87th place. Hou Yifan has done what only one female had ever done to this day, she broke into the overall Top 100 players in the world. The Chinese prodigy is finally beginning to live up to her early promise, and in one month has accumulated an amazing 32 Elo to take her to 2661, and just 15 Elo behind the legendary Judit Polgar.
After crushing the field at Lopota, Hou Yifan confirmed her world class status by coming second
at Biel. It all started with her win over Anish Giri in round one above.
On the flip side, the bad news for his fans is that Vladimir Kramnik has suffered a series of poor results, and is at a low of 2760 and 10th place in the rankings.

Yes, Hou Yifan is the star of the list, but she was not the only player to gain 32 Elo. Armenia's Elina Danielian also pulled off the feat, and a number added 20+ Elo to their tallies, such as Ju Wenjun and the new European Women Champion, Valentina Gunina, fresh from her fantastic win at Plovdiv.
Valentina Gunina won the European Women Championship just two weeks ago with 9.0/11

Although there were several strong ratings increases of 20 or 30 Elo (did we mention Hou Yifan?), there is one that is really beginning to stick out rather prominently: Akshat Chandra. This young 15-year-old IM from the US, not only gained 30 Elo in the last month, taking him to 2472 Elo, but has gained an astounding 200 Elo in the last year. A breakthrough you say? Try this: he was rated 1573 in March 2010 (he had just learned to play), 1905 in March 2011, 2130 in March 2012 (seeing a pattern here?), 2268 in June 2013, and now is 2472 in August 2014. Oh, and the 30 Elo this month comes from an open won by GM Rapport, where he came tied first-second with a 2650 performance.
Akshat Chandra receiving his second prize at the Paracin International Open. 900 Elo in
four years... Not too shabby.
It goes beyond Elo though. He very recently submitted, of his own volition, an article to ChessBase News. This article was not about his latest and greatest success. No! It was on a young nine-year-old prodigy he wanted to bring to our attention. A generosity and maturity of spirit well beyond his years.

You might be expecting us to bring up Hou Yifan once again, and although she does dominate the list, her 32 Elo gain is almost paltry compared to some colleagues. The reason is that as of this list, FIDE instituted new K-factors to help accelerate the gains of new arrivals on the rise. If you are rated under 2300 and under 18, your K-factor is now 40.
As a result, 14-year-old Gunay Mammadzada from Azerbadjan, who had a fantastic performance at the European Women Championship, far beyond her 2182 rating, gained... (drum roll)... 134 Elo! For the record she is up about 300 Elo since last year. Colombian Paula Andrea Rodriguez Rueda was not far behind with a stupendous 124 Elo leap to 2368.
