July 2011 FIDE Rating List
Magnus Carlsen has regained the #1 position at the top of the official FIDE world chess rankings. Carlsen gained six rating points during the Bazna Kings tournament, pushing world champion Vishy Anand back down to #2.
Carlsen tweeted that he was, "very happy to be back at the top on the World Chess Ranking".
Levon Aronian holds onto his #3 spot, while at #4 Sergey Karjakin is now the top rated Russian ahead of Vladimir Kramnik who drops one place to #5.
Next at #6 is Vassily Ivanchuk followed by Ruslan Ponomariov who climbs four places to #7 thanks to his strong showing at the Ukrainian Championships.
The top 10 is rounded out by Veselin Topalov at #8, Hikaru Nakamura at #9 and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov at #10.
Hikaru Nakamura bitterly tweeted, "Congratulations to everyone at the USCF for being so inept and making sure my match with Ponomariov didn't get rated for the July Fide list" [UPDATE:Nakamura has deleted this tweet! A change of heart perhaps?]
The women's top 10 is largely unchanged, with Judit Polgar at #1, Humpy Koneru at #2, and Hou Yifan still at #3 despite shedding some rating points. Viktorija Climyte enters the top 10 at #9 thanks to her victory in the European Women's Chess Championship.
On the Junior list, Vietnamese talent Le Quang Liem claims the #1 spot from Fabiano Caruana thanks in part to an excellent showing at the Capablanca Memorial. Anish Giri breaks the 2700 barrier at #3.
Le Quang Liem tops the Junior ranking list
