We are listing all players from the top 100 who gained or lost five or more points. Surprisingly there is a fair number, in spite of the short interval. Gaining 26 rating points or losing 22 in just one month is no mean task.

Anish Giri and Ding Liren are the big winners, but they are nowhere near super-junior Fabiano Caruana. The US/Italian GM is, just like Hou Yifan, playing in an inordinate number of events, but he manages to keep his rating and prove that his endurance is still up to the task.
