Now FIDE will surely get complaints that even a two-month rating list is not frequent enough. On the 1 November list World Champion Viswanathan Anand is first and Magnus Carlsen second, because the Pearl Spring tournament wasn't rated yet. Levon Aronian climbed to third place and Sergei Karjakin entered the top 10 for the first time.We all know that because of his disappointing results at the Olympiad and Bilbao, Magnus Carlsen lost a lot of rating points (24 in fact). We also know that for a moment he was caught by Viswanathan Anand on the rating list, but luckily for G-Star (who don't have to change their posters) Magnus is number one again after leaving Nanjing.Well, only on Hans Arild Runde's "live list" (of which the top 10 is also to be found in the far right column on this website). The FIDE rating list doesn't include the Pearl Spring tournament yet, and so for at least two months the World Champ is officially also the world's highest rated player. In fact at 2804 Anand reached his best rating ever; he hit 2803 two times before, in April 2006 and April 2008.Levon Aronian also reached his highest rating ever, and in fact at 2801 the Armenian became the sixth player to cross the 2800 rating mark, after Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Topalov and Carlsen.It's hard to believe, but on this list Sergey Karjakin finally enters the top 10, for the first time in his career (he reached spot no. 13 in April 2008). At 2760 the now Russian is the world's 9th best player.In the previous list Radoslaw Wojtaszek had climbed from 75 to 42 after winning 29 points. Adding 15 more points, the Polish GM can now be found on the 20th place. Gata Kamsky is also back in the top 20 after winning 21 points in this period.Peter Leko dropped further to 27th place while Caruana continued is gradual rise to the top, going from 37 to 31. Speaking of talents, Anish Giri climbed to 55th place with a 2682 rating.The women's top 10 again didn't change much. Judit Polgar won 4 rating points but Humpy Koneru won 7, so the gap decreased from 89 to 86 points. Pia Cramling is back in the top 10. Below you'll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists.

Now FIDE will surely get complaints that even a two-month rating list is not frequent enough. On the 1 November list World Champion Viswanathan Anand is first and Magnus Carlsen second, because the Pearl Spring tournament wasn't rated yet. Levon Aronian climbed to third place and Sergei Karjakin entered the top 10 for the first time.We all know that because of his disappointing results at the Olympiad and Bilbao, Magnus Carlsen lost a lot of rating points (24 in fact). We also know that for a moment he was caught by Viswanathan Anand on the rating list, but luckily for G-Star (who don't have to change their posters) Magnus is number one again after leaving Nanjing.Well, only on Hans Arild Runde's "live list" (of which the top 10 is also to be found in the far right column on this website). The FIDE rating list doesn't include the Pearl Spring tournament yet, and so for at least two months the World Champ is officially also the world's highest rated player. In fact at 2804 Anand reached his best rating ever; he hit 2803 two times before, in April 2006 and April 2008.Levon Aronian also reached his highest rating ever, and in fact at 2801 the Armenian became the sixth player to cross the 2800 rating mark, after Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Topalov and Carlsen.It's hard to believe, but on this list Sergey Karjakin finally enters the top 10, for the first time in his career (he reached spot no. 13 in April 2008). At 2760 the now Russian is the world's 9th best player.In the previous list Radoslaw Wojtaszek had climbed from 75 to 42 after winning 29 points. Adding 15 more points, the Polish GM can now be found on the 20th place. Gata Kamsky is also back in the top 20 after winning 21 points in this period.Peter Leko dropped further to 27th place while Caruana continued is gradual rise to the top, going from 37 to 31. Speaking of talents, Anish Giri climbed to 55th place with a 2682 rating.The women's top 10 again didn't change much. Judit Polgar won 4 rating points but Humpy Koneru won 7, so the gap decreased from 89 to 86 points. Pia Cramling is back in the top 10. Below you'll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists.
