Magnus Carlsen is just three points shy of Kasparov's July 1999 rating of 2851 in the latest FIDE Rating list for November 2012. The same players have remained in the top 10 for a number of lists now but two drop out this time. Hikaru Nakamura fell to 13 in the World after a dreadful performance in London and poor European Club Cup. Ivanchuk dropped to 11th after London too. Alexander Grischuk and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov entered the top 10 with good performances in the same events. Full list below.
