FIDE April 2008 Rating List: Top 100

Source: http://www.fide.com. The full list is available for download there.

Viswanathan Anand heads the April FIDE list alone with a rating of 2803 15 points clear of Vladimir Kramnik. Alexander Morozevich has moved into 3rd position after his win in the Russian Championships. Veselin Topalov lies in 4th place after losing 13 rating points. In 5th place is Magnus Carlsen who gains 32 points has arrived in the top 10 for the first and more than likely a very long stay. Levon Aronian is just a couple of points behind him up from 10th to 6th in the world. With Teimour Radjabov at 8 and Sergey Karjakin at 14 I think we're pretty much seeing the face of chess for the next few years. The highest new entry to the rating list is the winner of the Aeroflot Open is Ian Nepomniachtchi who although he is obviously behind contemporaries Carlsen and Karjakin I think has some chance to make it very high too.
