The FIDE Rating List for March 2010 has been released. Magnus Carlsen retains his number one spot from Veselin Topalov. Topalov's win in Linares isn't included but it wouldn't quite have been enough to recapture the number one spot anyhow. Kramnik overtook Anand for 3rd spot but again this is a very close call.

Magnus Carlsen remains top of the FIDE rating list for March 2010. Carlsen gained 3 points from his win in Wijk aan Zee. Veselin Topalov's win in Linares occurred too late to appear in the list (I still don't like the publication of a list that is out of date upon publication) and that would have lifted him extremely close to Carlsen again.

Vladimir Kramnik overtook Viswanathan Anand after a slightly better performance in Wijk aan Zee, but there isn't a lot between them. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov gained 19 points to move up to number 5 in the world, Alexander Grischuk moved from 15 to 7 in the world with more to come from his Linares performance.

Le Quang Liem moved from 93 to 42 after his recent performances in Moscow.

Michael Adams is back as England's number one after overtaking Nigel Short. Radoslaw Wojtaszek is the highest new entry at 70 in the world.

Giovanni Vescovi was the highest casualty dropping out of the list. The rating required to get into the list is still 2643
