Pretty sure it's Zeus.
It looks like he's been BANNED from the 2700 level. He can't beat anybody above it. Read 'em and weep dude.

I think he was actually 5th according to tie-breaks. Still impressive.
I doubt that many people have noticed this in the midst of all of the drama happening elsewhere in the chess world... but Wei Yi has entered the top 20 in the live chess standings:
He's currently at #19 with 2738.1.
yes, the 18 year old is making use of chinese chess players to get to the top. Whatever works I suppose.
Well, is that easier than gaining points from non-Chinese players?
Meanwhile Duda (the other young prodigy) is also reaching new heights. He broke 2700 for the first time this month. Matlakov and Feedoseev have also gained huge numbers of rating points (23 for both) to reach personal bests. All in all, this has been a great month for young and emerging players.
He's free falling. Whereas Karjakin maybe the champ soon.
