FIDE World Champion Veselin Topalov becomes the third player in history over 2800 after Kasparov and Kramnik. His rating is 2801 and he takes over from Viswanathan Anand as World Number 2 gaining 19 points. (Topalov's gain came solely from his victory in San Luis as did the moves for his rivals Anand, Morozevich, Leko, Kasimdzhanov, Adams and Polgar. Peter Svidler went on to play the World Team Championship and perform excellently there too) Anand is only 9 points behind after gaining 4 points. Peter Svidler gained 25 points and moves up to number 4. In 5th place is 23 year old Levon Aronian. having gained 28 points. Vladimir Kramnik gains 2 points and a place to move up to 6th due to falls of 11 and 19 points for Leko and Ivanchuk. Gelfand and Ponomariov return to the top 10 the latter after gaining 19 rating points. Morozevich is 11 after gaining 14 points. Bacrot and Polgar fall out of the top 10, the latter losing 24 points. 20 year old Shakhriyaz Mamedyarov gets over 2700 for the first time at World Number 15 gaining 35 points. Vladimir Malakhov gained 24 points. Another 20 year old on the move is Zahar Efimenko gaining 29 rating points. 25 year old Zhang Pengxiang is the top new entry into the top 100 but 15 year old Magnus Carlsen's whopping 55 point rating increase takes the child prodigy into the top 100 for the first time in what many predict may be a trip all the way to the top. Seven players come into the list and seven fall out including legend Viktor Korchnoi. Another two points were required to make the list with 2618 tieing for 99th-101st place. 2616 was sufficient in October. There has been one Federation change, Mikhail Gurevich is now Turkish not Belgian.
