On the new FIDE ratings list of July 1st, 2011 Magnus Carlsen holds the number 1 position. Thanks to his victory at the Kings' Tournament in Romania, the Norwegian passed World Champion Vishy Anand (India) again. Sergey Karjakin from Russia is now the world's 4th player while Ruslan Ponomariov (Ukraine) is on 7th place.Finishing on 6.5/10 at the Kings' Tournament in Romania yielded Magnus Carlsen 6 ratings points to reach 2821, 4 more points than Vishy Anand who didn't play rated games in this period.
(Update: the Norwegian just tweeted 'Very happy to be back at the top on the World Chess Ranking.') Sergey Karjakin scored the same in the same tournament and thus overtook Vladimir Kramnik's 4th place in the world rankings - Karjakin is now Russia's number one player.Thanks to good results at the Russian Team Championship and the Ukrainian Championship, Ruslan Ponomariov is back in the world's top 10 - the Ukrainian now occupies 7th place. His compatriot Alexander Moiseenko climbed from spot 57 to 26. Le Quang Liem (Vietnam) is now the world's 27th player. The Netherlands has a player rated over 2700 again: Anish Giri climbed to spot 40 with 2701. There are now 42 players with a rating of 2700 or higher.In the women's list, neither Judit Polgar nor Humpy Koneru played rated games. Hou Yifan is still third, despite dropping 37 rating points in two months. Viktorija Cmilyte is back in the top 10, now at 9th place.
