Classical, Rapid, Blitz: FIDE's new rating lists

FIDE July 2014 – Top 100 Players

Though Magnus Carlsen lost four points in Stavanger, he is 72 points ahead of Levon Aronian, who lost 10 points in the Norway Super Tournament. Grischuk managed to keep his position as number three in the world and with a rating of 2795 he is not only edging closer to the 2800 mark but also achieved the highest rating of his career.

Of special note is the presence of four Chinese players in the 2700 club, Wang Hao, Ding Liren, Wang Yue and Li Chao, with Bu Xiangzhi not far behind. Their lineup for the upcoming Olympiads promises to be their strongest ever.

Top climbers and descenders

At the very top, the most notable gains were by Sergey Karjakin for his last-minute win of the Norway Chess, followed by Hikaru Nakamura after a crushing 3.5/4 win over David Navara in their match.

Ding Liren was one of the biggest winners in the last month's list, reaching a personal best
of 2726. He may very well improve on this as he is playing in the Hainan Danzhou tournament at this
writing, and doing quite well.

FIDE Top Women

Judit Polgar is the indisputed number one on the women's list even though she lost nine Elo points since the last list. After Hou Yifan's excellent result in the Women's Grand Prix in Lopota, where she gained 18 points, the World Champion from China reduced the gap a bit.

It is also worth adding that Yifan is only 24 Elo away from entering the absolute Top 100.
In so doing, she would become the second woman to accomplish this.

FIDE Top Juniors

At the top of the list, there were few changes of note. US prodigy Samuel Sevian gained 22 Elo
as a result of his GM norm last month, taking him to 2464 and two norms. He is still on course
to become the youngest American grandmaster ever.

It is worth noting that this was not the only notable result. Hovhannes Gabuzyan from Armenia had a rather extraordinary month in more ways than one. Consider that the young grandmaster not only managed to win a huge 45 Elo in one month, but managed to play 27 rated classical games out of 30 days. This was not achieved at some frenetic Swiss Open rhythm of two a day, but one a day in three successive tournaments in Bulgaria.

Top 100 Rapid

It was really anyone's game when it came to the top Rapid spot. Though Nakamura entered the world championship as no.1, he held a mere one point lead over Fabiano Caruana, and others were close enough behind to realistically dream of emerging from the competition as the new number one. At the end of the competition, Fabiano Caruana kept a modest three point lead over Magnus Carlsen, though the question is: for how long?

Top 100 Blitz

Magnus Carlsen had vowed to become world number one in all three time controls, and succeeded with both great performances at Stavanger and the World Championship and curious maneuvers by FIDE, allowing Norway to rate their blitz event in spite of having repeatedly announced during the competition that it would not be rated. That said, he would have been no.1 even had Stavanger not been rated, from which he earned 40 Blitz Elo.

Magnus Carlsen's amazing Blitz-rating of 2948 makes him the clear no.1 with only Hikaru
Nakamura above the 2900 mark with 2908. Ian Nepomniachtchi's incredible performance
at the world championship placed him at no.3 with 2880.
