A look at the live ratings

You might have noticed that we did not report on the September 1st and October 1st FIDE ratings lists. The reason to break with this traditional service was that, with official FIDE ratings lists appearing monthly now and the Olympiad, the London GP and the Masters Final under way, any information would become outdated very quickly.
Now that a number of major tournaments have finished, it's well worth to have a quick look at the current live rating list provided by IM Artiom Tsepotan. We look at the current list, which was last updated 17 October 2012, 23:05 GMT. For most of the top players the official November 1st rating list will look the same.
Magnus Carlsen gained 4.6 points in Sao Paulo/Bilbao to reach a personal best of 2847 points. If he had beaten Levon Aronian in the last round of the Masters Final last week, the Norwegian would have broken Garry Kasparov's all time rating record of 2851 by one point. Carlsen will get a new chance to do this in the first week of December, at the London Chess Classic.
Levon Aronian lost 5.6 points but is still the clear number two with twenty points more than Vladimir Kramnik. Fabiano Caruana's success in the Masters Final is reflected in the list as well: the Italian entered the world's top 5 for the first time in his career. He might be a bit shocked himself when he realizes that he is just 13.5 points away from 2800!
Two other Sao Paulo/Bilbao participants, World Champion Vishy Anand and Sergey Karjakin, both lost 4.6 points and are now behind Caruana.
And then we arrive at the good news, at least for the following three players, who all entered the top 10: Veselin Topalov, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Alexander Grischuk. Especially Topalov's 18.4 point rating gain is huge at this level and the former FIDE World Champion is now #8 in the world.
Gata Kamsy took over the status of #1 in the U.S. from Hikaru Nakamura. Kamsky gained 7.4 points, while Nakamura lost 31 points. World Championship contender Boris Gelfand won 14.7 points to climb to the 14th spot.
Please note that the data below were all provided by 2700chess and are not official FIDE ratings. Before the FIDE November 1st rating list, the following events will influence the ratings of the 2700+ players: the SPICE Cup in St. Louis, the Continental Championship in Mar del Plata, the Univé Chess Tournament in Hoogeveen and a number of national leagues (most notably the Bundesliga). However, few changes are expected for the top 10.
Here's the full live rating list of 2700 players, last updated 17 October 2012, 23:05 GMT:

Nakamura is rated 2754 and ranked 13th. This mediocre player is No WHERE near Carlsen's talent.
How pathetic that Nakamura's worshippers and fanboys like to call him a "genius" and compare him to Bobby Fischer!
When all is said and done, Nakamura will go through the chess history book as another mediocre player soon to be forgotten and irrelevant.

It is so funny to see "hooliganism" in chess. I am happy that people like you are not so good at chess. I mean, if you have chance to play against Nakamura and then lose, you might try to hit him with the board:)

2754 it is medicore player?? It is an opinion from the Moon. Are you living there?
Everyone in top 20 is very talented chess player. Would Nakamura had such a godd trainers as MC it would have been comparable.

You are not correct. Mangus Carlsen didn't become number 1 until after training with Garry Kasparov for sometime. Nakamura had an opportunity to train with Kasparov (fully financed by philanthropist Rex Sinquefield http://blogs.forbes.com/people/rexsinquefield/) but his psyche couldn't handle it. Besides his hero Fischer did it all by himself so Nakamura is welcome to lock himself up in a seedy hotel room and try the same thing!

@ choufleur:
I am not a fan of Nakamura's rudeness, though the chess he plays, at its best, is great. Having said that, why put the guy down? He had a goal for 2012 and may not accomplish it, so what?

He reached 2786 and that's not a bad Elo with even if 14 points were missing.

Nothing wrong with having a goal, but it may have been - well not wrong but at least risky to say so in public. Maybe he put too much pressure upon himself?

Nakamuras spectacular loss of points is nothing but growing pains...he's paying for some of his nonsense..but he's a great player nonetheless and I have no doubt will rebound and be the player he is if he can shake it off. Thats what champions do. What amazes me is the carlsen denyiers.....its pretty obvious we have an exceptional talent in our midsts. Not only dos he NOT follow conventional computer analysis dogma and just play the game..he keeps going up! Kasparov was a great champion but he made his rating beating up on 25 and 260 players with a houe full of analysts..Carlsen is doing it himself and in his own way..which I would think deserves some respect. Mr Anand is certainly not the force he used to be..but still deserves some respect a WCC because nobody can beat him right now...well ..Carlsens demolishing game in ths tourney certainly dropped te gauntlet.....I think the kid is ready .....or...(sue me) ...as long as FIDE behaves..he's the next WCC. I think he'll even quit chess once he wins the title...just to make life interesting again.

Ivanchuk had an even more spectacular rating drop in the first half of 2009, going from 2779 to 2703 in six months (six events). Did he also have growing pains? He turned 40 in March 2009 ... .

By example you thoroughly refuted the assertion "All players who have spectacular rating losses have growing pains". Now all that remains is to find somebody who has made this assertion...
In a wider context, the Ivanchuk example demonstrates what Mike Magnan hopes for Nakamura. He can learn from it, and come back stronger (and wiser, perhaps).
Thomas

I just meant to say that Nakamura's rating loss also doesn't necessarily reflect growth pains. I said it before: for me Nakamura is a bit like Ivanchuk, inherently unstable - and I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't change in the coming, say, five or ten years.
Technically, Ivanchuk didn't come back stronger: he neither reached his peak rating again (2787 in October 2007, 2786 in October 2008) nor his ranking (second in 10/2007, third in 10/2008). The latter is partly because some players - at least Carlsen and Aronian - became even stronger and out of reach for Chucky.
The same might apply to Nakamura: I would say not just Carlsen and Aronian, but also Radjabov and Caruana are out of reach for him (he might prove me wrong). It's less clear in Karjakin's case, and Kramnik and Anand (whom many already write off) might decline and/or retire in the rather near future - again this means 5-10 years.

If Carlsen manages to win the WC and then promptly quits chess, his legendary status will be ensured for all time. Only Morphy and Fischer quit the game as undefeated champs. Kasparov also quit while he was still the number #1 rated player in the world but he had already lost a WC match by that point.

2847.6 will be rounded to 2848, not 2847, so if you must round it now you should not round it to 2847.

Ivanchuk is different.....I understand his flights...being an artist....my lows are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY lownad then my highs are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYhigh...he's like that. It's temperment. At his most brilliant..he can beat the best. In his lows...can lose badly. Price you pay with that sort of mind. The difference between him and Carlsen is that besides the last olympiad when (SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS) Carlsen LOST rating pints....Carlsen has played plus 2800 avg [erformance for at least 2 years. Thats freaking astounding!! The only other player to dominate like that was Morphy..Fischer..and Kasparov..(Who I'll sayy again..made his rating beating 2500 and 2600 players with a house full of analists.) Computers made everything equal. Carlsen is a step ahead by just playing chess and avoiding long lines. It's interesting to note 1600 or so players making making comments while looking at all the drivel their engines run...bleh...Carlsen is something else in my view.

Im not so sure. He is breathing chess so to speak. I think on "60 minutes" he admitted that his mind is more or less circling around chess constantly. I don't think he can live without the tournaments etc., not yet. I don't expect him to quit within the next 10 years at least. Time will tell.
