FIDE June 2013 – Top 100 Players

Top climbers and descenders

Here's a list of all players from the top 100 who gained or lost five or more points. As you can see there was some reshuffling at the top: Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov, who gained a bunch of points in the previous list, dropped most or some of these points – Topalov had gained 22 and now drops nine. At the same time Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand have lost four and gained three points respectively, too few to appear on the following list. Interestingly Levon Aronian played 18 games in the past month, but remained exactly in the same position, second, and with the same rating, 2813. Sergey Karjakin did a big climb, from tenth in the world to seventh, gaining 15 points in the process. Lower in the list Julio Granda Zuniga gained twenty points, while Pentala Harikrishna and Ivan Cheparinov lost 22 apiece. The biggest fall was by Zahar Efimenko, who dropped by a whopping 26 points in a single month.

FIDE Top Women

Most significant change: Indian GM Koneru Humpy has overtaken Chinese GM Hou Yifan – by two points. The perennial leader Judit Polgar is once again 100 points above the rest of the female world.
