FIDE publishes March 1 ratings, Linares not counted

Just a few days ago Veselin Topalov won the Linares tournament and narrowed the gap with Magnus Carlsen on the live rating list to just one point. On the March 1st FIDE rating list the Norwegian leads with a personal record of 2813 and is still 8 points ahead of Topalov.

It’s already an improvement to have six rating lists a year instead of four, but today we are reminded again of the fact that a monthly, or even weekly official list might be even better. While Carlsen and Topalov are just one (in fact 0.7) rating point away from each other on the “live list” by Hans Arild Runde (which you can also find in the far right column on this website), on the official list the distance is 8 points because Linares hasn’t been counted yet.

World Champion Viswanathan Anand lost his third place to Vladimir Kramnik; between them there are just three points. This means that the upcoming World Championship match in Sofia will be played between the current world’s number 2 and 4.

Vugar Gashimov was Azerbaijan’s number one player briefly, but he’s out of the top 10 again. His 6th place is now occupied by his compatriot Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, who is back among the elite after a lesser period. Grischuk and Svidler climbed to spots number 7 and 8.

Vassily Ivanchuk is out of the top 10 again; he dropped slightly from 8 to 11. Hikaru Nakamura saw a strong period awarded with a 17th place. Alexander Morozevich’ decline continued; the former World’s number 2 can now be found on spot 24. There are now 37 players with a rating of 2700 or higher.

In the women’s list nothing much changed. The difference between Judit Polgar and Humpy Koneru decreased a bit further, from 68 to 60 points. Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists. All data courtesy of FIDE.

What are the Best Women Chess Countries?

Hello Everyone!

I came across today the rating list of the best chess countries in women's chess, as compiled by FIDE using the average of the top 10 women chess players of each country.

It's very interesting to study this list. You can see that China and Russia are ahead of the other countries, basically because they have a lot of good lady players. You will note that for both those countries their 10th player is still above 2400 ELO, which makes it easier to build strong teams for national team competitions such as the Chess Olympiads.

That proves the point that for a country to have a good national team it's not enough to support the top players but one needs to start at the grass-roots, and get as many players to start chess as possible. Especially important is to try to get chess into schools, to show both boys and girls that chess is a cool game, that will help them in their studies and later on in life. And of course that will provide a larger pool of talent for many women players to grow and hopefully as many as possible candidates for representing their country in the national team.

Competition at the top is good. The best proof of it is the fierce competition there is in Russia to be part of the national team. Due to that uncertainty to be part of "The Team", everybody trains real hard and everyone's rating increases. The result is that Russia is the only country who has 4 lady players whose rating is above 2500 ELO (the two Kosintseva's, Pogonina and me), and players with 2450 ELO have little or no chance to be part of the National Team.

So I congratulate all chess teachers, coaches, and educators, and thank them for the great work they do to promote chess to our youth and introduce them to our wonderful game. That's the only way that our countries will get strong national teams, thereby winning medals and providing incentive for others to follow their leadership.

The top Chess Countries for Women's Chess are as follows:

Carlsen officially world’s number 1 at 2810
Last month he turned 19, and today Magnus Carlsen officialy became the official world’s number one player. On the January 1st FIDE rating list the Norwegian as a rating of 2810, 5 points more than Veselin Topalov, who had occupied the number 1 spot since October 2008.

After winning the London Chess Classic with three wins and four draws it was a fact: Magnus Carlsen would become the youngest world’s number one in chess history. Thanks to the “live list” by Hans Arild Runde (which you can also find in the far right column on this website) everyone could already see how the top rankings would look like, and today this became official due to FIDE’s publication of the January list.

World Champion Viswanathan Anand won 2 points and is still in third place; after the Tal Memorial and London Vladimir Kramnik surpassed Levon Aronian to become 4th. Vassily Ivanchuk is back in the top 10, and Wang Yue entered for the first time – the Chinese GM is now the world’s 9th player. After a successful period, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is 11th now. Leko and Morozevich dropped out of the top 10.

Frenchman Vachier-Lagrave, just two months older than Carlsen, has now entered the top 20 while another former prodigy, Sergei Karjakin, dropped out – but let’s not forget he’ll be defending his Corus title soon. Vladimir Malakhov’s successful period resulted in a rise from spot 31 to 22. Without getting too much attention, Zoltan Almasi and David Navara occupy the excellent spots 26 and 27.

A disappointing London Chess Classic cost Nigel Short his 2700+ rating but he’s still just England’s best player at 2696; Michael Adams is now one spot below him at 2694. 17-year-old Fabiano Caruana did well again and climbed no less than 30 places; from spot 81 to 51. Another young player did even better: 18-year-old Sergei Zhigalko went from 93 to 58. New in the top 100 compared to the previous list are Ian Nepomniachtchi (69th), Wesley So (77th), Viktor Laznicka (84th), Le Quang Liem (93rd) Tomi Nyback (97th) and Evgeny Bareev (98th).

In the women’s list again the top 3 didn’t change; the difference between Judit Polgar and Humpy Koneru is now 68 points. Nadezhda Kosintseva climbed from 9th to 5th while Alexandra Kosteniuk and Kateryna Lahno are back into the top 10. Nana Dzagnidze dropped out from 4th place all the way to 14th.

Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists. All data courtesy of FIDE.

November 2009 FIDE Rating List

Hello everybody!

The FIDE (International Chess Federation) just published the November 2009 rating list. Below you can find the top 100 women. My rating is at 2517, but that does not count my good performance in Novi Sad, where I earned a little over 10 ELO points. You can see that there are 15 ladies above the 2500 mark, that's great, 3 years ago there were only 7 above 2500.

Carlsen officially world’s number 2 at 2801
Magnus Carlsen officialy broke the 2800 barrier today. On the November 1st FIDE rating list the Norwegian is the new world’s number 2, only 9 points behind Veselin Topalov (2810). Radjabov and Ivanchuk left the top 10 for Gashimov and Svidler.

We all know the story of Magnus Carlsen’s amazing performance at the Nanjing super-tournament, but it still takes your breath away to see that magical 2801 next to his name, now officially, on the November 1st FIDE rating list. The top 10 is almost identical to the “live list” by Hans Arild Runde which you can also find in the far right column on this website. The difference is the European Team Championship, not yet included in the official list. In Novi Sad Veselin Topalov lost a bit, and so Magnus Carlsen is in fact only 3.9 points behind the Bulgarian; a gap that could be closed during the upcoming Tal Memorial.

In about one and a half years time Vugar Gashimov has become one of the world’s very best players – he entered the top 10 for the first time and is now on a fine 6th place, behind Topalov, Carlsen, Anand, Aronian and Kramnik. It’s good to see Peter Svidler back there too; the grandmaster from St Petersburg is 8th now, one place behind Boris Gelfand.

Leko dropped from 6th to 9th place and Radjabov and Ivanchuk are just out of the top 10; on spots 11 and 12 respectively. Eljanov climbed to 17th, but on the live list that’s already 11th (!) thanks to his top performance in Novi Sad. Nakamura and Alekseev dropped out of the top 20. New or back in the top 100 are Surya Ganguly, Jan Smeets, Giovanni Vescovi, Boris Savchenko, Denis Khismatullin, Bartosz Socko and Anton Korobov.

The women’s top 10 has barely changed since the September list. Judit Polgar dropped 7 rating points at the Univ� Tournament in Hoogeveen but is still 77 points ahead of Humpy Koneru. Nana Dzagnidze is now the 4th female player in the world, 41 points behind Hou Yifan. Nadezhda Kosintseva already climbed to 9th place and her 8/9 in Novi Sad still needs to be added to that! Zhao Xue dropped from 4th to 14th place. The names in the Juniors and Girls top 10s are the same as two months ago.

Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists. All data courtesy of FIDE.

Ivanchuk re-enters top 10 on new FIDE rating list
Following its new policy of publishing six instead of four rating lists a year, FIDE already made available the September rating list today. The top 10 didn’t change much; Jakovenko is out but after a great summer Vassily Ivanchuk is back in; the Ukrainian climbed from spot 30th all the way up to 8th place.

The top 10 of the FIDE’s September rating list is almost identical to the “live list” by Hans Arild Runde which you can also find in the far right column on this website. The difference is that FIDE rounded off Boris Gelfand’s and Vassily Ivanchuk’s rating to 2756, and in this case Ivanchuk ‘wins’ because of a higher number of played games. In any case, it’s interesting to note that the only two players in the top 10 over 40 years old, are having the same rating at the moment.

We can safely use the synonym “Russia’s number one player” again for Vladimir Kramnik after Dmitry Jakovenko dropped from 5th to 11th place. Ruslan Ponomariov is slowly but surely getting closer to the elite again and the biggest winner at the top, besides Ivanchuk, is Hikaru Nakamura of course, although in the meantime he already lost many points in Amsterdam this week.

We find Nigel Short back in the world’s top 30 but Rustam Kasimdzhanov climbed even more, from 58th to 31st. Kamsky went down considerably, from 18th to 38th. After finishing shared first at both Politiken and Zurich (winning two last-round games with Black!) Boris Avrukh went from place 100 to 60.

In the women’s list the top 6 stayed the same; Pia Cramling climbed from 10th to 6th place, behind Judit Polgar, Humpy Koneru, Hou Yifan, Zhao Xue and Tatiana Kosintseva. Sergei Zhigalko entered the Juniors top 10 and Harika Dronavalli is now 4th in the Girls list.

Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists. All data courtesy of FIDE.

Veselin Topalov tops the July FIDE rating list with a rating of 2813. The Bulgarian is 25 points ahead of World Champion Viswanathan Anand. After dropping 33 rating points on the previous list, Vassily Ivanchuk lost 43 more points, to dive to 30th place.

Yesterday FIDE published its new rating list, which this time is not identical to the “live list” by Hans Arild Runde which you can also find in the far right column on this website. The difference is the Kings Tournament in Bazna, Romania, won by Vassily Ivanchuk last week: this tournament wasn’t rated yet. Therefore we find Boris Gelfand climbing from 15th to 9th, though virtually the 40-year-old Israeli grandmaster is the world’s number 5.

The top 5 (Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian and Dmitry Jakovenko) all won points and because he didn’t play rated games, Kramnik allowed Aronian and Jakovenko to pass him on the list. Teimour Radjabov and Alexander Morozevich also dropped a bit by not playing. Vugar Gashimov keeps on doing well and is about to enter the top 10 now.

Despite losing three points on this list, Gata Kamsky climbed from 24th to 18th, but he lost many points in Bazna. Sergei Movsesian lost 31 points and dropped from 11th to 22nd but the biggest loser in the top was of course Vassily Ivanchuk, who left the top 10 15 (now 30th) for the first time in a very, very long time.

Poikovsky winner Alexander Motylev is now the world’s number 27 while France’s new hope Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is only two spots below. On the last two lists there were 31 players with a FIDE rating above 2700 but this time there are 33.

In the women’s list the top 10 is still the same, but with minor some changes: Zhao Xue is now best of the rest, climbing from 7th to 4th, behind the super-trio Judit Polgar, Humpy Koneru and Hou Yifan.

In the Juniors list Dmitry Andreikin climbed to 6th place, surpassing amongst others Wesley So. On the Girls list Shen Yang and Elena Tairov are the biggest climbers.

Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the first two lists including the changes with the previous lists. All data courtesy of FIDE.

Topalov passes 2800 again at April rating list, Ivanchuk out of top 10

After finally receiving his 13 points gained at the Pearl Spring tournament in December and earning 3 more from his match against Kamsky, Veselin Topalov tops the April 2009 FIDE rating list at 2812. Radjabov, Jakovenko and Morozevich all lost points and so without playing rated games Kramnik climbed to 4th behind Anand and Carlsen. Ivanchuk lost 33 rating points and dropped to 12th place.

Today FIDE published its new rating list, which for probably the first time has an identical top 10 as the famous “live list” Hans Arild Runde which you can also find in the far right column on this website.

With 2812, Veselin Topalov is just one point below his personal record of 2813 which he reached with the publication of the July 2006 list. At the MTel Masters in Sofia in May he can try to break his career’s record rating.

World Champion Viswanathan Anand lost 8 points in Linares, but the Indian is still in second place. The gap is now 29 points - quite a wide margin at top level. Magnus Carlsen lost six points but is still third, 13 points behind Anand.

Vladimir Kramnik did not play rated games since the Olympiad in Dresden and so his rating stayed at 2759, enough for a 4th place in the world rankings since three players above him lost points: Radjabov (-5), Jakovenko (-7) and Morozevich (-20!). Aronian won 4 points and is back in the top 10; he climbed from place 11 to 6.

The unpredictable Vassily Ivanchuk is out of the top 10; he dropped no less than nine places, from 3rd in the world to 12th. Vugar Gashimov climbed a bit further, from 19th to 16th, getting closer and closer to the absolute top.

In the October list there were 32 players with a FIDE rating above 2700 but just like in January there are now 31. Sasikiran and Vallejo Pons left that group while Malakhov, Nakamura and Naiditsch entered / came back.

In the women’s list there are not many changes at the top. Judit Polgar still tops at 2693 as she didn’t play rated games after the Dresden Olympiad, where she was very ill and lost 18 points. Nana Dzagnidze climbed from 8th to 5th place, behind Koneru, Hou Yifan and Stefanova. The gap between Hou Yifan and Koneru is just 22 points now, after Koneru lost 9 points and Hou won 19.

Winning 3 points, Caruana is back in the top 5 Juniors list as Rodshtein dropped 23 of his 41 points he had won on the previous list.

Below you’ll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the lists including the changes with the previous list. All data courtesy of FIDE.

Istanbul: Grand Prix Femminile

Istanbul, prima prova
FIDE Grand Prix Femminile 2009-2010
Con la partecipazione di Martha Fierro!

Nonostante il fallimento della versione “assoluta” del Grand Prix, la FIDE ha recentemente varato un ciclo similare di tornei al femminile. La prima prova si terr� ad Istanbul dal 7 al 19 marzo. Notizia dell’ultima ora la partecipazione anche di Martha Fierro che sostituir� l’indisponibile Zhu Chen. Queste le partecipanti:

Koneru, Humpy GM IND 2621
Hou, Yifan GM CHN 2571
Stefanova, Antoaneta GM BUL 2557
Cramling, Pia GM SWE 2548
Sebag Marie GM FRA 2529
Chiburdanidze, Maia GM GEO 2516
Zhao, Xue GM CHN 2508
Danielian, Elina IM ARM 2496
Shen, Yang WGM CHN 2448
Fierro Baquero, Martha IM ECU 2403
Mamedjarova, Zeinab WGM AZE 2362
Yıldız, Bet�l Cemre WIM TUR 2214

Koneru Humpy

Hou Yifan

Antoaneta Stefanova

Martha Fierro

Betul Cemre Yildiz

Cerimonia d’apertura il 6 marzo alle 14, primo turno il 7 marzo alle 15, undici turni l’ultimo previsto il 19 marzo alle ore 10; due giorni liberi, l’11 e il 16.

Questa � la prima prova del FIDE Women Grand Prix, competizione costituita da sei eventi previsti in due anni, 2009-2010. Il prossimo appuntamento sar� a Nanjing in Cina in settembre. La vincitrice di ogni prova ricever� 6.500 euro (40.000 euro a disposizione per ogni torneo) ; la vincitrice assoluta al termine del GP FIDE ricever� altri 15.000 euro.
Il regolamento del Grand Prix Femminile � modellato su quello “assoluto”. 18 le giocatrici che parteciperanno alla serie di tornei, ciascuna disputer� 4 prove.

Se la FIDE non cambier� un'altra volta i regolamenti, nel 2010 si terr� il World Championship Knockout sempre ad Istanbul, che determiner� la Campionessa del Mondo (attualmente il titolo � detenuto da Alexandra Kostenjuk), che poi nel 2011 difender� il titolo contro la vincitrice del GP FIDE 2009-10.

Ci sar� comunque sempre da spiegare come mai questa prima prova del GP � stata calendarizzata proprio in contemporanea con il Campionato Europeo Femminile che si disputa a San Pietroburgo dall'8 al 20 marzo...

Sede e sponsor ufficiale della manifestazione: IS Bankasi
