The FIDE rating list for September is released. There will be rating lists every two months from now on. Vassily Ivanchuk bounces back to 8 in the world after dropping to 30 in the last list.

For the first time there is now a September Rating List. The list I believe will be updated every two months. Topalov and Anand remain in place. Aronian and Carlsen swap places. Ivanchuk fell from 12 to 30 last time, now he jumps back to 8 which is where he belongs. Jakovenko has played a number of top events and struggled a bit so he drops to 11 from 5. Nigel Short is back as England's number one for the first time since who knows when as he jumps back over 2700, but he probably would have been there anyhow as Adams precipitous drop continues, he is now 50 in the world, he was number 12 last October. 2643 gets you in the list, Anatoly Karpov drops out of the top 100 for the first time, probably since the list's inception.
