Viswanathan Anand has extended the lead as world number one he gained in April gaining 4 points from 4 Bundesliga games. Veselin Topalov retains his second position by virtue of games played from Vladimir Kramnik for the second list in succession, both lost three rating points in the period, Kramnik by drawing against Jan Smeets in a single Dutch League game. The biggest mover was Vassily Ivanchuk who gained 33 points over 22 games and moves into fourth position. He played in the Russian Team Championships, Capablanca Memorial and Bundesliga but the ratings doesn't include the Aerosvit tournament in Foros which finished long on June 30th but which will see him gain more points in the list. Ivanchuk could be said to be the form player in the world at the moment. Levon Aronian lost 9 ratings points, 5 of which were at the Candidates (which FIDE quite rightly decided to rate even though they finished after the strict cut off point, in line with the decision over Linares in the last list) which is misleading as he played pretty well against under rated opponents (both have gained in the latest list) there. Into the top 10 for the first time is Dmitry Jakovenko who has enjoyed a steady rise for some time now. Alexei Shirov gained 36 rating points to recover from his bad Wijk aan Zee, mostly through his performances in the Bundesliga (24 points gained). David Navara lost 64 points to drop from 14th to 54th in the world, all of his rated games came from team events, and he lost points in all but the French League, but it was his catastrophic losing run in the Bundesliga that cost him the most, 43 points. Leagues don't get rated until they finish and the number of games from these events some of which started 9 months ago that has caused some of the big changes throughout the list. Wang Yue gained 40 points from Calvi, Cappelle and the Philippines. Konstantin Landa re-entered the top 100 in spectacular style with a gain of 61 points, 30 of which came from a full 15 game Bundesliga season and another 13 from the European Individuals. 9 players dropped out of the top 100 Seirawan (insufficient activity) Asrian, Dreev, Azmaiparashvili, Spraggett, Khenkin, Gagunashvili, Najer and Korchnoi and 11 either entered or re-enter (there are 102 names this time). A rating of 2624 was needed to feature in the list, a rise of one point on the April list.
