November 2012 FIDE Rating List
The latest official rating list from FIDE comes after a busy October, so apart from a few players (most notably Vladimir Kramnik) almost everyone's rating has changed.
Magnus Carlsen came within a single victory of breaking Garry Kasparov's all-time rating high of 2851 during the month, and has extended his lead over #2 Lev Aronian to 33 Elo points.
Fabiano Caruana gained 3 places to reach #5 in the rankings, and Veselin Topalov, Alexander Grischuk and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov all re-entered the top 10.
In contrast, Hikaru Nakamura lost the most ground among the top players, shedding 31 Elo rating points after some below-par performances and dropping out of the top 10 to #13.
Last month's rating list is here for comparison.
