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.
The influence of live ratings was particularly in evidence last month as the prevailing FIDE rating list was out of date almost the moment it was published. It's hard to imagine that the official ratings were once published just twice a year. Now even monthly lists are sometimes not enough. Vladislav Artemiev surged 27 points from just his 10 games in the Gibraltar Masters and is now knocking on the door of the top 20.
More of the top women were active overall thanks to the generosity of the Sinquefield couple in St. Louis and the inaugural Cairns Cup.

The official top 100 list this month is mainly impacted by the rating of the Gibraltar Masters, which we touched on already in our February ratings update, but which was not officially rated until now. Of the top players, only a handful have been active in the month of February. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Wesley So, Yu Yangyi, Levon Aronian and Hikaru Nakamura all lost a few points during their stay beside "the rock" but very little has changed in the world rankings, aside from Artemiev's breakthrough.
Forty-two of the top 100 players are now rated over 2700. To enter the Top 100 you need an Elo rating of 2655. That figure has remained surprisingly stable in recent years — in March of 2017 it was 2659.
By the way, you can click on any name to reach that player's ChessBase PlayerBase page, complete with rating graphs and all his or her latest games!

Ivan Saric turned in a good performance in Gibraltar and is now over 2700 for the first time in his career.
Boris Gelfand is at a new low this century and is in danger of dropping out of the top 100. He was a fixture of the world elite from the early 1990s to 2016. In recent years he has mentored World Rapid Champion Daniil Dubov.

The big winners from a ratings standpoint were Fabiano Caruana, who jumped 41 points to number 3 in the world, right behind Hikaru Nakamura, and Veselin Topalov, who enters the rapid top 10 after picking up 64 points in the USA.

Hikaru Nakamura just barely clawed back the number 2 spot on the world blitz rankings from Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who was inactive. Along with Magnus Carlsen, the trio is clearly a cut above the rest in this format.
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.

Alireza Firouzja flew up 39 points to number 4 on the top juniors list, thanks to his wins in the Iranian Championship and the 3rd International Stars Cup, also in Iran. He and Parham Maghsoodloo are a big reason why we recently published a story on the Iranian chess boom.
