FIDE September 2014 – Top 100 Players
The Olympiads guaranteed that there would be more than a few shakeups in the top 100, if only by sheer volume of games. In the Top Ten there were few changes: a few points gained, a few lost, but overall nothing overly significant. In 11th place, 20-year-old Anish Giri is now at a personal best with 2758, encroaching on the top group, and the question if who will vacate a place for the rising star. Incredibly, the most immediate candidate is Vladimir Kramnik, who seems unrecovered from the failed Candidates tournament earlier this year.
Also on the rise is 21-year-old Chinese GM Ding Liren, whose superb performance was one
of the keys to China's fantastic gold medal win at Tromso
This brings us to the top performer at the Olympiad: 20-year-old Yu Yangyi, whose incredible
result garnered him a colossal 32 Elo in just eleven games, and brought him to 2700 for the
first time in his career.

Normall, the cutoff for our list is a shift of five Elo, but due to the volume, almost half the list saw changes of this magnitude, so this month a change of 10 Elo was the minimum.
The biggest winner was unsurprisingly Yu Yangyi with his 32 Elo gain to 2700, while the next biggest winner was 25-year-old Armenian GM Hrant Melkumyan, who gained 23 Elo. The biggest loser was Gata Kamsky, who was unrecognizable and lost a hefty 25 Elo and is now below 2700 for the first time since 2010.
Armenian GM Hrant Melkumyan has made steady gains these last few months, and is now
2678 after his win in Riga

Although the big news was Judit Polgar's retirement from competitive chess, while Hou Yifan narrowed the already small gap to a mere 12 Elo, of special note were both Russian GMs Alexandra Kosteniuk and Valentina Gunina. Not only did they win the Gold medal, but they set personal bests each.
And to think, the Russian Women almost didn't play!

The Juniors now include three players rated 2700 or more, and five in the world top 100. Although Yu Yangyi did indeed earn 32 Elo, he was tied by French GM Maxime Lagarde, who also gained 32 Elo, but was trounced by the Cuban IM Kevel Castaneda who not only gained a staggering 55 Elo, taking him to 2501 Elo, but somehow managed to play... 36 standard games in one month! A word of the wise to this young player: it is rumored that eating and sleeping are also necessities.
17-year-old Richard Rapport managed to play 28 games in
the month, including the Olympiad, and still earn nine Elo.

So just how big a specialist can one be in blitz? In the top 100 Blitz ratings, a lone IM sets the standard. 17-year-old Olexandr Bortnyk from Ukraine has a standard rating of 2505, which is fine, though nothing to write home about. However, his rapid rating is 2542 and his blitz rating is an astonishing 2677! Judging by the ratings list, one can see he plays FIDE rated Blitz tournaments quite regularly too.
