July FIDE rating list has been published and Magnus Carlsen continues to lead the world chess ranking. For a fourth consecutive time Carlsen is rated number one, after January (ELO 2810), March (2813), and May (2813), he sets his own personal record of 2826 in the July rating list.

This rating puts Carlsen on the second highest spot ever in the world rankings, only Garry Kasparov has had historically higher rating. On the July 1999 and January 2000 FIDE rating lists Kasparov reached a 2851 Elo rating.

The July 2010 rating list, however, will be remembered with one more important feature. There are three players that are above the mythical 2800 mark. Besides Carlsen, these are Veselin Topalov (for the 8th consecutive time) and the new entrant - the World Champion Viswanathan Anand. The Indian has exactly 2800 points after successfully winning the World Chess Championship and one game from the Hungarian Chess League, and enters the 2800+ rating list for the third time (after April 2006 and April 2008).

The 2700 club

There are no significant movements on the 2700 club list for July. The list of players above 2700 remains the same in number - 37 players, with Nielsen, Onischuk, Nepomniachtchi, and Adams returning to the club.

Among the highest rating gainers in the 2700 list are GM Vitiugov (+15 ELO), GM Navara (+13 ELO), GM Vachier-Lagrave (+13 ELO), and Magnus Carlsen (+13 ELO).

From the rest of the top 100 players rating increase can also be noted, with biggest rating gainers Anish Giri (+30), Bologan (+27), Van Wely (+24), Caruana (+22), Cheparinov (+21)

Украина занимает 2 место в мире по среднему рейтингу 10 лучших шахматистов

Levon Aronian, the Olympic Champion with Armenia from Dresden, is the latest player to break the 2800 ELO rating barrier. He achieved the prestigious 2800+ status after round 4 of the European Club Cup in Plovdiv.

The rating of Aronian is still virtual, as the FIDE rating list is published every two months and the next update is November 1st.

Levon Aronian, the Olympic Champion with Armenia from Dresden, is the latest player to break the 2800 ELO rating barrier

Чемпион мира индиец Вишванатан Ананд возглавил рейтинг Международной шахматной федерации (FIDE), ноябрьская версия которого опубликована на официальном сайте организации.

Два месяца назад лидером рейтинга являлся молодой норвежец Магнус Карлсен, однако на супертурнире в Бильбао победу одержал россиянин Владимир Крамник, а Ананд выступил лучше норвежского гроссмейстера. Сейчас в активе индийца 2804 очка, у Карлсена - на 2 меньше, на третье место поднялся армянин Левон Аронян, преодолевший отметку в 2800 очков (2801).

Улучшил свои позиции и Крамник, который теперь на четвертом месте (2791). Кроме него из россиян в топ-10 входит Александр Грищук (6-е место, 2771 очко) и Сергей Карякин (9, 2760), ранее располагавшийся на 14-й позиции.

World champion Viswanathan Anand hit a career-high rating of 2810 in the latest world ranking list released by the World Chess Federation (FIDE).

The rating, effective from Saturday, however, was not good enough to help Anand keep the No. 1 spot he gained since November 1. The second placed Anand had to make way for Norway's Magnus Carlsen who regained the top position at 2814.

The lists: World (Top-10):
Magnus Carlsen (Nor, 2814),
2. Viswanathan Anand (Ind, 2810),
3. Levon Aronian (Arm, 2805),
4. Vladimir Kramnik (Rus, 2784),
5. Sergey Karjakin (Rus, 2776),
6. Veselin Topalov (Bul, 2775),
7. Alexander Grishcuk (Rus, 2773),
8. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Aze, 2772),
9. Vassily Ivanchuk (Ukr, 2764),
10. Hikaru Nakamura (USA, 2751).

The President, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, opened the proceedings by thanking Mr Kusina and the Malopolska Chess Federation for organizing and hosting the event. He then gave a speech in which he unfolded his vision for the future of FIDE, particularly concentrating on Chess in Schools and advising that he had gained sponsorship of $1,000,000 per year for the next three years for the various Chess in Schools projects. He also listed many countries he had visited since the Khanty Mansiysk Olympiad in which he had discussed Chess in Schools with Presidents and other senior government officials. He reported on the Commission on Modernisation meeting that was held in Moscow, where he said that great progress had been made. Rapid and Blitz ratings will be calculated from 1st January 2012.

вах. наконец-то собрались. в нашем клюбе мы уже их года 4 как считаем....

Если процентов 10 ( а реально наверно еще меньше будет ) то адекватность рейтинга будет очень сомнительной.

Полагаю вы этот пост писали в пятницу ...

Не процент от общего числа определяет, а условно говоря среднее число партий на участника... ИМХО это число не намного отличается от класических партий... т.е ну с учетом кратковременности блица пусть 3/1 n/t 300 партий в год весьма достоверны ...

а почему вообще разделяют мужчин и женщин?

интересно, средний IQ
у мужчин и женщин
ведь не отличается.

а еще интересно про китайских женщин.
первое и второе место в мире.
случайность или генетика?

то есть женщин «натаскать» можно,
а мужчины это штучый товар?

Подготовка. Раньше, не так давно, была тотальная доминация грузинских женщин.
Гены за это время не могли поменяться

Ну спорт такой. Интересно знать, кто же самая сильная женщина

Конный спорт не очень-то и различает ни всадников, ни собственно лошадей.
