August 2012 FIDE Rating List
The official August 2012 chess rating list has been released by FIDE. It's the first of the new monthly rating lists. Previously lists had been published every 2 months, which was itself a recent improvement on the long-established practice of quarterly rating lists.
The increased frequency is partly being driven by the advent of 'live' rating websites such as 2700Chess.com, which track rating changes for the top ranked players on a daily basis.
As the official lists become more frequent, then the changes between each are necessarily fewer.
