Last night Magnus Carlsen was likely partying like it's 2014! He once again holds the World Championship in classical rapid and blitz.
Humpy Koneru has inched above Aleksandra Goryachkina on the Women's list, so the World Championship match which kicks off in a few days will be a contest between world number 2 and 4.
Wei Yi has finally aged out of the top Juniors list, so Alireza Firouzja stakes a strong claim to being the world's best under 21 at an Elo of 2723.
December provided little action the top 100 classical list save for the Grand Chess Tour finals in London and the FIDE Grand Prix in Jerusalem. Ian Nepomniachtchi's win there propelled him up four spots to #5 just behind Grand Prix series winner Alexander Grischuk. The rating difference between Carlsen and Grischuk is the same as between Grischuk and #55.

Firouzja was busy playing rapid and blitz in Moscow last week, but classical inactivity nevertheless sees him take over the #1 spot on the Top 100 Juniors list, as China's Wei Yi is now too old to be considered a Junior. Firouzja is significantly younger than numbers 2-5 on the list as well, so he has a good chance to keep this position for quite some time.

Hikaru Nakamura had a phenomenal World Blitz Championship, despite coming up short against his perennial nemesis Carlsen in the final two-game playoff. Nakamura has retaken 2900...barely. Aside from his last loss to Magnus, the only other blitz game he dropped in Moscow was against Firouzja.
