"I see on 2700chess that the gap to Anand, for example, has shrunk by 34.8 points this time, and now measures 37.2 points"
Indeed, but I still don't agree with you and trotters about Carlsen no longer being #1 at the end of the year. My guess is rather that his margin to #2 will have increased a bit from the current 37.2, but we will see in December who guessed best :-)
