This month marks the twelfth consecutive month that China's Ding Liren is over 2800 and the ninth consecutive month that he, Fabiano Caruana and World Champion Magnus Carlsen have ranked numbers three, two and one in the world. The Sinquefield Cup showcased Ding's stability as he overcame the world champion in a rapid and blitz tiebreak.
Master Class Vol.7: Garry Kasparov
On this DVD a team of experts gets to the bottom of Kasparov's play. In over 8 hours of video running time the authors Rogozenko, Marin, Reeh and Müller cast light on four important aspects of Kasparov's play: opening, strategy, tactics and endgame.

As noted, the best of the best were busy throughout August in St. Louis. Viswananthan Anand is back in the top ten, Levon Aronian has slipped to fourteenth and Leinier Dominguez was inactive this period. Yu Yangyi makes his debut at number ten, following a strong summer season.
Master Class Vol. 12: Viswanathan Anand
This DVD allows you to learn from the example of one of the best players in the history of chess and from the explanations of the authors how to successfully organise your games strategically, and how to keep your opponent permanently under pressure.

India's Surya Ganguly was the biggest gainer on the month thanks to his impressive win at the Belt and Road Hunan Open. The Russian Championship was responsible for several of the most significant swings, including Dmitry Jakovenko cratering 23 Elo points and, of course, the +12 for Evgeny Tomashevsky thanks to his first place finish.

World Champion Ju Wenjun dropped 24 Elo points this month, while Aleksandra Goryachkina remained at 2564, narrowing the distance between them to just 12 points in advance of their World Championship match.
Carissa Yip has surprisingly become the highest rated woman from the USA, eclipsing Grandmasters Anna Zatonskih and Irina Krush. The 15-year-old Yip is still "just" an FM (albeit now a WGM-elect), but she skyrocketed 125 Elo points over 27 games credited this period, and that's following on the heels of her U.S. Junior Girls Championship win in July!

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is the new world number one at rapid chess, changing places with World Champion Magnus Carlsen. We received a comment last month to highlight rapid specialist Anton Korobov who, while inactive, benefited from a slip by Fabiano Caruana and now stands at a career best fourth place in the world rankings. (In fairness, we did feature him in the June update for this category.)
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.

There were huge swings downward on the part of previous blitz leaders Magnus Carlsen and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Carlsen dropped to number four while 'MVL' fell all the way to number 17! That leaves Hikaru Nakamura as the world number one at blitz.
Ding Liren made a big move in the other direction, as he gained 88 points over his August tally rising to the number two spot.
