January 2010 FIDE Rating List

Submitted by SonofPearl on Sun, 01/03/2010 at 7:42am.

Magnus Carlsen is still a teenager, but he is now officially the top ranked chess player in the world. The January 2010 FIDE rating list puts Carlsen at #1 with 2810, just ahead of Veselin Topalov on 2805.

That makes Magnus Carlsen the youngest #1 rated player in chess history!

Current world champion Vishy Anand is #3, and former champ Vladimir Kramnik climbs back to #4 after having a good year in 2009.

Vassily Ivanchuk and Wang Yue also regain their places in the top 10.

Judit Polgar still sits proudly at the top of the women's list, but she is fairly inactive and Koneru Humpy at #2 has now closed the gap to less than 70 rating points.

I read somewhere that Ian Nepomniachtchi was Carlsens old archnemesis. Looks like he is back. From nowhere to 69th!

It's a gap between no 1 and 2 in Norway, but Jon Ludvig Hammer have increased from 2588 to 2627 (+39) from 15.Oktober to 15.December, with very good 1th board play for Norway in European Championship for team (best 1th board player, after Magnus Carlsen withdrew) and a very good open tourney in London with victory in that group. He is not professional as Carlsen, but no 124 in the world is good, since he also have school works to do. He is born in June 1990, so still Junior as well as Magnus Carlsen.
