One of the best methods for learning chess is "fighting" with a chess computer. The wisdom of this has been proven I think. What do you think? I enjoy this site very much.http://www.chessworldnook-shps.com/chess-computers/

No American junior on top 20.Wow what can you say about American Chess.No hope now for the next generation.When do we start preparing our players(u-12)for a push towards the WC.Its time to get serious people.Dont make me start a foundation!

from a wrecking machine to a drawing battery operated bunny. that is how wesley so lost some of his points. Pour it on Wesley!

man look at india without anand....none is there....infact no one from india in juniors top twenty....saaaaad

By next week, all the Carlsen G-Raw posters will be replaced with Anand ones. Vishy's fierce scowl should be something to behold.

:-)

People should not be complaining when FIDE is actually following its own regulations. It is NOT a matter of just one tournament, as if your deadline is one day before the list is published, it will have to apply for all tournaments, not just Nanjing. The list needs to be double-checked and error-free. If anything, the fact that they have lowered their process-time to just one week should be recognized and welcomed.

Best wishes,

for all pinoy we have new hero in chess, wesleys record is broke being youngest national jr. champ, hope we have more pinoy coming superstar not only wesley.

im sad for maam natalia pogonina her rating is going down hope shes bounceback and her rating is going up hi maam how r u i miss reading ur article hope ur fine see ya for ur next tournament.

I'd be interested to also see a top-20 (or so) seniors list, i.e., active players above a certain age, say above 55...  That's a statement of chess longevity.

I imagine that Anatoly Karpov is probably still heading that list, and not far behind would be Viktor Korchnoi, who is just about 80 years old by now...

Wow, Anand reclaims his crown. Poor Topalov, slipped 3 places. Go Wesley!

Ratings measure form; the World Championship determines the world's best player. 

That Anand, in this release, is both World Champion and #1 in ratings, just shows that the world's best player is also in good form:)

iam always surprised about how strong polgar really is

There was really no time to add nanjing tournament to this list. according to regulations this rating list is completely valid.

Vishy is World Champ, but M.C. is truly # 1!

Magnus Carlsen can't be too happy after hearing this.

Right now only Three Chess Player above 2800.

The Elo rating is important, but being a WC is more important!

So, for those who upset because MC isn't Rank No 1 Player, please be patient until He prove it thats His a WC!!.

Its worth noting that Carlsen would have lost the #1 rating spot after ugh...London, Corus I don't remember which. Some other major tournament earlier this year, where when it was finished, he had slipped to second, but it wasn't included in the next rating list. Then he regained top spot before the next list. So not including Nanjing is a little goofy, but Carlsen has been helped by this goofiness before.

Jai ho !! Jai Hind !! vishy is the best

Wow this list doesnt include Nanjing?

Wow.. This list is a joke, so is FIDE, they cant seem to get anything right.. I mean how complicated is it to add the rating from ONE tournament from TWO days ago.

I also think the World Junior Championship 2010 results are not included (please correct me if I am wrong)
