On its website FIDE has published not only the July 1st rating list, but also the first rapid and blitz ratings. In the regular list, Magnus Carlsen reached his peak rating of 2837 and is only 15 points shy of passing Garry Kasparov's all-time high of 2851.

The biggest news about today's new FIDE rating list is the fact that for the first time, a number of players also got a rapid rating and/or a blitz rating. Another novelty is that FIDE will now be publishing new rating lists every month, instead of every two months. All this was announced by FIDE back in November. However, besides a note in today's announcement on the website, it's actually not that easy to find the blitz or rapid rating list. The reason is that... there are no lists yet! 

We contacted FIDE on Saturday night, shortly after the new list was published. It was explained to us that the top 100 lists for blitz and rapid were not published yet, because at this moment they do not reflect the actual strength of the top 100 – many players do not have games yet. But at the moment of writing FIDE is considering to put up lists anyway.

Currently the rapid and blitz ratings can be accessed at the download page or via individual player profiles. For example, English grandmaster Jon Speelman now has a blitz rating next to his "classical" rating.

Speaking of classical ratings, let's have a look at that list. Magnus Carlsen added two points to his 2835 rating and is now only 15 points shy of passing Garry Kasparov's all-time high of 2851. The only change in the top 10 is the switch of names at 4th and 5th place: Vishy Anand lost 11 points in the World Championship match and Teimour Radjabov, who won 4 points, is now 8 points above the World Champion. Anand's 11 points went to Gelfand, and this helped the Israeli to climb from 20th to 16th place in the world.

Judit Polgar saw her lead over Hou Yifan increase from 86 to 92 points because the Chinese World Champion lost 6 points. Viktorija Cmilyte re-entered the top 10 after winning 16 points in these two months.

Below you'll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give all lists including the changes with the previous lists.
