FIDE Rating List September 2011 (Sept11)
Magnus Carlsen retains top spot on FIDE Rating list for September
Mark Crowther - Wednesday 31st August 2011
Magnus Carlsen in action in Biel against Morozevich where they both gained rating points. | http://www.bielchessfestival.ch
Magnus Carlsen added two rating points after his win in Biel to move to 2823 to retain top spot in the September FIDE rating list. World Champion Anand is still 2nd having played no games. Levon Aronian gains two points at the World Team Championships. Vladimir Kramnik moves back to 4th above Sergey Karjakin after Dortmund and the Russian Championships gaining 10 points. Topalov is back at 6th without playing due to Nakamura's recent woes that drop him to 12th losing 17 points. Ivanchuk is 7th, Ponomariov up to 8th from 10th as Mamedyarov lost points at the World Teams and Baku Open. Grischuk is 9th. Gata Kamsky re-enters the top 10 and is now the US Number 1. Morozevich is up from 48th to 17th in the World after his recent return to form. My thanks to Albert Silver for pointing out how badly screwed up the initial publication of this list was. FIDE's new list is very far apart from the original. He also highlights that Loek van Wely is no longer 2700, and Li Chao is now 2710, gaining an astonishing 41 Elo points. Anish Giri rises from 40 to 23 for a much more realistic world ranking. Full list below.
