Mega Database 2019 upgrade from Mega 2018
The exclusive annotated database. Contains more than 7.6 millions games from 1560 to 2018 in the highest ChessBase quality standard. 72,000 games contain commentary from top players, with ChessBase opening classification with more than 100,000 key positions, direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames. The largest topclass annotated database in the world. The most recent games of the database are from the middle of October 2018.
Last month we noted that the official margin that separates World Champion (and world number one) Magnus Carlsen from his challenger Fabiano Caruana as they headed to London for the match was less than 3 points. Few would have predicted that the same margin would prevail after twelve head-to-head classical games. But that is precisely what has happened. After all classical games were drawn, the match was decided only by rapid tiebreak games. With such a tight margin between the players, the draws had no effect on their respective ratings.
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.

The top two notwithstanding, the rest of the top ten also remained virtually unchanged; the ten games of the Shenzen Masters tournament in China had little impact on the ratings of Ding Liren, Anish Giri and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Curiously Wesley So and Levon Aronian have switched places at 10 and 11 despite neither being active in the period.

After staring on our last rating list update, Radolaw Wojtaszek yielded back 17 of the 22 points he gained in the month prior, the biggest change on the December list. Adhiban Baskaran had a strong showing in the Tournament of Peace in Zagreb. Markus Ragger lost ground in league play and slips back under 2700. Peter Leko is at this lowest rating this century.

Magnus Carlsen was not the only World Champion to defend his (or her) title. Ju Wenjun lost just a single classical game in her successful bid for Women's World Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk last month. In the process she raised her rating to 2575 (her career peak to date is 2604 from March 2017). But Hou Yifan was back in action in November, playing four games against 2400-rated players in the German League, and scoring 3½, for a net gain of 4 Elo points. It was her first rated games since May, and her first as a full-time student at Oxford University.
The runner-up in the knockout, Kateryna Lagno, is not far behind at 2560. She narrowly lost the finals in a tiebreak just a couple of months out from giving birth to her fourth child! Truly astounding!

The rest of the top ten remained unchanged by the World Championship knockout and the most noticeable shift in the top 30 is Olga Girya dropping from place 15 to 28 after losing all four of her games played in November.

There was little action on the Junior front. Among the most active players were the Russians Alexey Sarana and Andrey Esipenko, both of whom lost a bit of ground, and Dmitrij Kollars of Germany, who jumped from 44 to 30 and hits a new career peak at 2559.
