As of today, Magnus Carlsen (2862) is well clear of Garry Kasparov's all time highest rating. The only danger for him is losing two games against weak players, which is a remote possibility with his current form. Nakamura did draw with him on 10th December, which means that Carlsen will collect a slight minus, but nothing significant.
The most interesting move on the list is by Kramnik. He is now clear of Aronian (who's lost quite a bit here) by almost 6 ELO points. World Champion Anand is now at No. 7. Mamedyarov has cemented his ranking in the top 10 at least for now.
