Sept 2010 FIDE Rating List
Magnus Carlsen still stands comfortably above his rivals on the latest official FIDE rating list. In fact, due to inactivity during the last two months, the ratings of the top three are unchanged.
World #1, and part time fashion model (!) Carlsen will take on the entire world in the G-Star RAW Challenge, powered by Chess.com on 10 September. See the video below and look out for more details here soon!
Topalov still holds the #2 spot, fractionally ahead of Vishy Anand at #3. Lev Aronian climbs one place to #4 despite playing no rated games courtesy of Vladimir Kramnik's loss of 10 ratings points to drop to #5.
Congratulations are also due to the new French Champion Laurent Fressinet, and Italian Fabiano Caruana on joining the 2700+ Elo club.
Judit Polgar still holds the #1 spot among women, and seems unlikely to lose her position any time soon despite the best efforts of Koneru Humpy, Hou Yifan et al.
