New FIDE ratings: Carlsen not second

The 1 July rating list has already been published at the FIDE website. World champion Viswanathan Anand is topping the list alone, Morozevich has passed Kramnik on number of played games and Carlsen... is number six.

On the new FIDE rating list, Anand lost five points but he's still first. Second is Alexander Morozevich, who won fourteen points and reached exactly the same rating as Vladimir Kramnik, who didn't play a FIDE rated event and so automatically played "less" games for the list - the rule that's applied for ranking players with the same rating.

Partly thanks to a great M-Tel Masters Ivanchuk won no less than 41 points but Topalov can be satisfied as well with a 10-point rise. Magnus Carlsen dropped a spot to a sixth place, but by now the whole world knows that virtually he's been the world's number two for weeks, as can be seen e.g. in the right column on this site.

After some inaccurate journalism on our side, we can now see on the 1 July list that the Foros tournament has indeed not been included by FIDE but you never know. Perhaps in a few days a corrected list will be published, which also happened last year.

Below you'll find the new top 100, the 50 women, top 20 juniors and top 20 girls.
