September FIDE rating list

Carlsen, Topalov, and Anand in top 3, Aronian climbs to 4th

FIDE published the September rating list. Due to summer inactivity, Carlsen, Topalov, and Anand preserve the positions they had in the July FIDE rating list. Aronian did not play a rated game as well, but climbed to 4th, due to Kramnik losing 10 points in Dortmund.

Eljanov continues his victorious climb and adds six points from Politiken Cup gaining two positions to number 6 on the list. Ivanchuk and Gelfand appear on 9th and 10th position, gaining +15 and +12 points respectively.

The biggest gain in the 2700 club is by Anand's second Wojtaszek with +48 points in the current list. Other top gainers are Adams with +22 and Fressinet with +21.

The new players to the September FIDE top 100 rating list are Sebastien Feller, Luke McShane, and Viktor Laznicka, climbing directly to 45th position with 2690 ELO, full 52 points more than the previous list.

The average rating of the top 100 players grows to 2695 ELO.
