The "Mega" is the database every serious chessplayer needs. The database contains 7.1 million games from 1500 to 2017, in highest quality standard, full of top level analyses and completely classified.
That is the official margin that separates World Champion (and world number one) Magnus Carlsen from his challenger Fabiano Caruana as they head to London for their big match. (It's even just 2.4 points according to 2700chess.) When you are that high in the Elo stratosphere it's awfully hard to gain ground but Caruana managed to add 5 points since October thanks to a strong showing in Batumi at the Chess Olympiad.
Master Class Vol.8: Magnus Carlsen
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.

Despite every top player (aside from Topalov) being active in the Olympiad (at least), the top 10 remained largely stable, with only Aronian slipping substantially from the fifth to the eleventh spot. Hikaru Nakamura has hit a rough patch as evidenced by his fall from number six (in April) to number 17 today, his lowest ranking since July 2010.
Radoslaw Wojtaszek was among the biggest gainers and played the most second most games (Isle of Man runner-up Arkadij Naiditsch player one more) on the month. The affable Polish GM is back number one in his home country and moves to within a point of his peak all-time.

This is the largest list of significant rating changes that we've seen in a long time, perhaps a side effect of the Olympiad where you find so many games with so many players of varying strengths.
The biggest winners in rating terms are Jorge Cori, Bassem Amin and Nils Grandelius, with Isle of Man winner Radoslaw Wojtaszek close behind. Cori won a gold medal on board three in Batumi and recently took the SPICE Cup title in St. Louis — total gain 25 Elo points! Grandelius played all eleven rounds of the Olympiad and six more at the European Club Cup, scoring +8 =8 -1 (eight wins, eight draws an one loss). He notched wins againt 2700-players Boris Gelfand, David Navara and Dmitry Andreikin, and his only loss came in the very last of those 17 games — to Russian GM Vladimir Fedoseev.
Bassem Amin was undefeated in the month of October, while Wojtaszek gave up only one game in the Olympiad (to Ian Nepomniachtchi in the third round) and is now working on an undefeated streak of 21 games since then, drawing everyone over 2700 and beating most everyone else (plus 2712-rated Michael Adams in Isle of Man).
On the decent, Boris Gelfand stands out both for his total point drop of -28 and for the fact that he's fallen out of the Top 50 once again and has actually slipped below Maxime Rodshtein on the Israel list. He briefly touched #52 in June, but was back above for the summer, and now, at #71 is at his lowest world rank position since FIDE has published online records (July 2000).

Anna Muzychuk is closing in on the Women's World Champion Ju Wenjun. With Hou Yifan inactive for the time being while in her first term at Oxford University in England, the top 10 current players are in the range of 2500-2570.
Humpy Koneru returns to the list after a long period of inactivity herself, by virtue of her participation on board one of the Indian women's team in Batumi. She is also set to take part in the forthcoming Women's World Championship knockout tournament.
Newly in the top 20 is Alina Kashlinskaya (pictured above) who earned a GM-norm en route to winning the top woman prize at the Isle of Man International.
