Officially, Carlsen has not played a single rated game in September, but in a few days, at the Altibox Norway Chess Tournament, a six-player live double-round-robin, the World Champion will again win or lose Elo-rating.
Fabiano Caruana will also take part at the Altibox Norway Chess Tournament. He lost a couple of points at the Bundesliga Championship but he still remains clear number two on the rating list. Number three is Ding Liren, who – like Carlsen – did not play a single FIDE-rated game in September. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave won a couple points and replaced Ian Nepomniachtchi on place four.
Shakhriyar Mamedyarov also won a couple of points, six to be precise, and he is now number seven on the rating list. In general, there are a lot of players at the top, and their ratings are very close to each other.
Some players were particularly active in September. One of them is David Navara who played in the Czech Championship, the Polish Extraleague and the Bundesliga Championship. All in all, Navara played 13 games in these events but lost a couple of points. The same goes for Radoslaw Wojtaszek who even played one game more than Navara but also lost rating.
Addendum/correction: David Navara pointed out that things were slightly different in his case. In fact, he lost the Elo-points before. However, due to a mistake in the communication between the Czech Association and the FIDE, this loss of Elo-points only became apparent with a delay. In September, David Navara played in the Czech Individual Championship, the Polish League and the Slovak League, but not in the national league. In these events he did not lose any rating-points. But then Navara was persuaded to play in the Spanish league at the end of September where he lost some Elo-points. However, this will only affect the November list.

The women players are even more affected by the Corona crisis and the somewhat dormant chess life than men. Apart from those on the Internet, there are currently no women-only events at all. Those who want to play have to play in the open tournaments.
But the top female players more or less refrained from live tournament chess. Polina Shuvalova, number 29 on the world's ranking list, is the highest rated player who played a rated game in September.

Top junior is Alireza Firouzja, who, however, also did not play a single FIDE-rated game in September. But Firouzja also starts at the Altibox Norway Chess Tournament, and he will gain or lose rating in October.

Zhansaya Abdumalik continues to top the list of the world's best girls. The young Kazakh is very self-confident and declared a few years ago that her goal in chess was the World Championship. Not the Women's World Championship – the World Championship! Probably this will not work out as there is a lot of very strong. But in a recently conducted interview she revealed that she is now aiming for a political office. In any case, chess fans will hear a lot more from her.
