March 2015 ratings: After 26 years, Yifan no.1

by Albert Silver
2/28/2015 – 26 years and two months to be exact. On January 1989, 12-year-old Judit Polgar appeared on the FIDE ratings list with a 2555 rating, making her the youngest Top 100 ever, and the no.1 female player in the world, a ranking she held until today, when Hou Yifan officially became the new no.1. Also this month, Wei Yi becomes the youngest player ever rated 2700.

FIDE March 2015 – Top 100 Players

In the overall list of the Top 100 players, the elite were all quite active, whether playing in Zurich or the FIDE Grand Prix. One of the notable changes was the slight fall from grace by Alexander Grischuk, whose sterling form had allowed him to attain 2810, but he was unable to maintain it, and lost 16 Elo to drop under 2800 once more.

The biggest winner was Hikaru Nakamura, who once again reaches world no.3, this time also establishing
a personal best of 2798, edging out Topalov for the podium thanks to the great number of games played.
After his superb win at Gibraltar, he then went on to take Zurich at the very last minute. Literally.

Evgeny Tomashevsky’s incredible run at the FIDE Grand Prix in Tbilisi, trashing the pundits expectations
by winning it a full round in advance, garnered him 29 Elo, and a personal best of 2745 as well.  

A little lower down in 44th place is the world’s youngest ever player to break
2700: 15-year-old Wei Yi. He succeeded in adding 11 more Elo from his excellent
result in Gibraltar and a total of 81 in the last 12 months.

FIDE Top Women

It was thanks to her incredible 12.5/13 and 2694 performance at the Thessaloniki Olympiad
that 12-year-old Judit Polgar became the world no.1 female in January 1989. She has held this
status for a staggering 26 years and two months, a record that may never be beaten.

Even Judit pointed out Hou Yifan as her most likely successor, and the Chinese player has finally
toppled a ranking held for so long to become the new no.1 female player in the world. She had
been extremely close, but an excellent result at Gibraltar clinched it for her. It is worth noting that
it was her birthday just two days ago, so a nicer present to herself is hard to imagine.

Another noteworthy name, that must be mentioned, is the sudden appearance of 14-year-old Mongolian Davaademberel Nomin-Erdene, rated 2374, who has gained nearly 500 Elo in a year.
