Magnus Carlsen gained three more rating points in his last thirteen games to come in at 2813 Elo points and occupy the number one slot in the world rankings. The 2813 rating is the second highest achieved by any player in chess history (Veselin Topalov also reached exactly this rating in the July 2006 list). The highest rating ever was, of course, Garry Kasparov's 2851, achieved in July 1999.
Addendum: Knut Johnsen of Lillehammer, Norway, notes that our statment "The 2813 rating is the second highest achieved by any player in chess history" is not exactly accurate. Kasparov has had several registed ratings above 2813:

|
So Magnus Carlsen and Veselin Topalov are the second-highest ranked players in history.
In second place is Bulgarian GM Veselin Topalov, whose rating remains the same as in the previous list. The additional points the Bulgarian GM gained at the tournament in Linares have not been added to the current list, since the event ended later than the FIDE deadline for the bi-monthly list.
Vladimir Kramnik has gained two points while Viswanathan Anand has lost three, both in 13 games each. This has caused a swap in places: Kramnik is now third and Anand fourth. Levon Aronian remains in place five.
Other notable gains were achieved by Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (+19 points), Alexander Grischuk (+20), Alexei Shirov (+14), Hikaru Nakamura (+27). Losses were suffered by Boris Gelfand (–11), Vugar Gashimov (–19) and Alexander Morozevich (–17, dropping to place 24).
