Magnus Carlsen set a new ratings record with 2872. He added 11 points to his rating after his performance in Wijk aan Zee. Levon Aronian's failure to win against Fabiano Caruana cost him the second spot retained by Vladimir Kramnik but he still gained 7 points. Caruana will be grateful for that escape at least not making worse the 24 point loss he suffered there causing him to drop out of the top 10 to 13 but he plays two important events in February. World Champion Anand moved up to 6 in the World getting back to 2780. The other big jump that catches the eye is Timur Gareev now of the USA gaining 17 points.
