FIDE Rating List July 2009
Veselin Topalov (pictured) is still ranked the world's number 1 player on the latest quarterly official FIDE ratings list, gaining a single point to stand at 2813 Elo. World Champion Viswanathan Anand is second on 2788 Elo and Magnus Carlsen is third on 2772 Elo, so the top three all keep their positions from last time.
Lev Aronian climbs to number 4 and Dmitry Jakovenko hits a career high of 5th in the world, just ahead of former world champion, Vladimir Kramnik.
After his recent poor run of form, Vassily Ivanchuk falls from number 12 to number 30. Something tells me he'll be back up in the top 10 soon!
Judith Polgar is quite inactive at the moment, but she is still the only female on the top 100 list, coming in at no.43 and 2687 Elo.
Magnus Carlsen is the top rated junior, followed by Sergey Karjakin (20th), Vachier-Lagrave (29th), Wang Hao (39th), Fabiano Caruana (59th), Dmitry Andreikin (86th), and Wesley So (92nd).
