ChessBase is a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the standard throughout the world. Everyone uses ChessBase, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it.
But Carlsen remains the clear number in the world and with a live-rating of 2846.7 he is still 27.1 points ahead of Fabiano Caruana.
However, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is no longer among the world's top ten. After his disastrous result in Wijk he dropped a few places on the live-rating list, where he is currently number 15. But it is well-known that a bad dress rehearsal often leads to a good premiere, and for "MVL" this "premiere" would be the Candidates Tournament 2020-21, that is scheduled to finish in Spring 2021.
Currently, Vachier-Lagrave shares first place with Ian Nepomniachtchi (both have 4½/7) in the Candidates, and if he regains his form he can still hope to win the tournament to become Carlsen's next challenger.
The 17-year old Firouzja won 10 rating-points in Wijk and is now number 13 on the live-rating list, two places ahead of Vachier-Lagrave.
With their impressive performances in Wijk Van Foreest and Esipenko both managed to jump the +2700 mark and now belong to the small group of super grandmasters with a rating of more than 2700.
