May 2010 FIDE Rating List
Now that the official FIDE rating lists are updated more frequently - every 2 months rather than every quarter, there tends to be less movement from one list to the next.
The top 7 are unchanged this time, with Magnus Carlsen sill holding onto his #1 position, just a fraction ahead of world championship challenger Topalov at #2.
The current live rating for all 2700+ players can be seen at the live rating website.
