Updated: Nov 1, 2012, 1:29 PM | 0

The mighty Norweigian GM Magnus Carlsen, who is 33 points ahead of the World's #2 chessplayer Armenian GM Levon Aronian, sits on the cusp of breaking history according to the November 2012 FIDE rankings. There have also been some players who have had some high "highs" and some pretty low "lows" in their respective gains or losses since the last rating list was released.

Ranked 8th in the world, Bulgarian GM Veselin Topalov gained 18 points and climbed 5 positions from #13. He also gets the top nod for gaining the most since the last list. World Chess Championship runner-up Boris Gelfand also raised himself 4 spots from #18 by gaining 15 points.

On the other side of things, American GM Hikaru Nakamura dropped 8 spots to #13, totalling a 31 point loss, the worst of the point droppers. Accompanying him was Anish Giri, who dropped 15 points and four places from #24 to #28 and Nigel Short, who went from #39 to #58, dropping 15 points as well.

The complete chart of ups and downs can be seen at that link above but here is the top 100 for all to see here.
