New FIDE rating list - top increases

Hi all,

With each new FIDE rating list (every two months) come the different "top 100s": top 100 players, top 100 women, top 100 young players... But, as far as I know, nobody ever published the top 100 rating increases !

Since I think everyone should be proud to be part of the top 100 fastest improving players in the world, I compiled this list with a few interesting facts.

For instance:

If between January and March you won:

• 24 points: you are in the top 10% of the rating increases
• 66 points: you are in the top 1%
• 80 points: you are in the top 0.5%
• 86 points or more: less than 100 people on the planet won more points than you did during this period!

What do you think? Which interesting statistic facts would you like to know?

Very instructive! Thanks nikonoel

You're welcome! I would love to have feedback on this list since I plan on publishing it with every new rating list :-)
