Live Chess Ranking List, April 1st Week
For a long time, the live Chess rating list has been pretty wild. For the first time in many months, the list appears sane. Ivanchuk and Morozevich are in the trough of their "peak and trough" cycle, Grichuk is probably where he belongs. Kramnik probably deserves something better though. 01 Topalov 2812 02 Anand 2789 03 Carlsen 2765 04 Kramnik 2759 05 Radjabov 2756 06 Jakovenko 2756 07 Aronian 2754 08 Leko 2751 09 Morozevich 2751 10 Grischuk 2748
