After Carlsen's success in Wijk aan Zee he again leads the rating list with an impressive margin of 34 points. This is also roughly the gap between the world's number two, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, and the world's number ten, Anish Giri.
Five players in the top ten were not active in the last month, five were active. Levon Aronian, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Hikaru Nakamura played in Gibraltar, and Vachier-Lagrave also played in Germany's League, as did Vishy Anand, while Shakhriyar Mamedyarov played two rated games in Germany's second league.
Aronian won the tournament in Gibraltar but lost some rating points - however, he still is the official number five in the world. Mamedyarov lost five points, Vachier-Lagrave four, Anand three. Nakamura won six points and now is again ahead of Fabiano Caruana.
Three players currently have a rating of 2800 or more: Magnus Carlsen, Shakhriyar Mamedyrov, and Vladimir Kramnik. 45 players do have a rating of 2700 or more, and to join the club of the world's best 100 player you need a rating of at least 2652 - Sanan Sjugirov just made it.
Three players from the US (Wesley So, Hikaru Nakamura, and Fabiano Caruana) are among the top ten but only one Russian: Vladimir Kramnik. However, things do not look that bleak for the "Soviet School of Chess": with Aronian (Armenia) and Mamedyarov (Azerbaijan) two more players from former Soviet countries are among the top ten. Moreover, apart from Kramnik Russia has another six players in the top 20: Alexander Grischuk (12), Sergey Karjakin (13), Peter Svidler (14), Ian Nepomniachtchi (16), and Dmitry Jakovenko (19).
The only female player in the top 100 is Hou Yifan on place 95.

Wei Yi, another Chinese, is the best U20 junior, even though he did not play last month. Unlike Jan-Krzyztof Duda, currently number two among the juniors, who was very active and played 14 rated games in February though he only confirmed his rating and did not gain points. Wei Yi and Duda are currently also the only juniors with a rating of 2700 or more.
