FIDE ratings - May 2025

by André Schulz
5/2/2025 – Many of the top players were mainly involved in Freestyle Chess in April, which is not rated by FIDE. However, the end of the Austrian and German Bundesliga seasons did bring about some changes in the world rankings. And in the junior women's category, Divya Deshmukh and Li Miaoyi are engaged in an exciting duel.
Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.

Among the active top ten players was Arjun Erigaisi, who supported the winning team of Düsseldorf in the Bundesliga. The Indian, ranked fourth in the world behind Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura and Gukesh (all of whom were only active in Freestyle Chess in April), played in the Bundesliga season finale and scored two points from three games, but was unable to improve his rating of 2782.

Nodirbek Abusattorov played two games for defending champions Viernheim and lost two points, but this did not affect his sixth place behind Fabiano Caruana.

The biggest Elo winner is Parham Maghsoodloo, who gained 22 points in the Austrian Bundesliga, the Reykjavik Open and the German Bundesliga, returning to the circle of players above 2700 and improving to 30th place.

Top 120 Women

The relatively inactive Hou Yifan remains the undisputed number one in the world rankings. Women's World Champion Ju Wenjun gained almost 20 points when she successfully defended her title against Tan Zhongyi in the World Championship match, closing the gap on Hou Yifan. Lei Tingjie is now third, while Tan Zhongyi slipped to seventh after losing to Ju Wenjun.

Several top female players competed in the Grand Prix in Pune. Humpy Koneru won the tournament together with Zhu Jiner. Both players were awarded 15 Elo points and now occupy fifth and sixth place behind Aleksandra Goryachkina.

Hou Yifan remains number one among the women; the best junior is still Gukesh Dommaraju, followed by Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu; and with Divya Deshmukh the best junior among the women also comes from India.

60m English Anti-Bayonet

King’s Indian fans who choose the Mar del Plata attack (7...Nc6) against White’s classical system (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0) usually aim for a complex position with mutual attacks on open wings, requiring long-term strategic planning and tactical sharpness in critical moments. Computers often do not know how to handle the arising complex strategic positions, which suits players who like to think on their own instead of memorizing long variations. However, the fashionable Bayonet Attack (9.b4) interferes with Black’s ideas. After Black’s main move 9...Nh5 the positions opens, the lines get forced and computer analysis is important again. But this DVD offers an antidote against White’s Bayonet Attack, namely 9...a5! This move leads to sound positions with very few concrete lines, in which the focus is on strategy not on tactics. Objectively chances are equal but if Black knows what to do things might quickly become dangerous for White.
