In an unlikely situation that is probably never going to happen again, Four of our top most rated Chess players on the live FIDE rating scale are rated between 2747 and 2748! Anand is on 2748, and Gukesh Dommaraju, Vidit Gujrathi, and Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu are all on 2747! Mark this date. This actually appeared on Feb 5th morning.

The amazing kid, Carlsen is back at No.1 on the Live Ratings list (and not the official FIDE list yet). If you remember, he was No. 1 for a day last year during one of the top tier events. This time he is just a point ahead (rounded) of Topalov and a bit more ahead of Anand. The Tal tournament did not show Carlsen's class to the full as he was not 100% but it did show his grit since he remained unbeaten even though it was rumored that he had a flu type of condition. 1 Carlsen 2806 2 Topalov 2805 3 Anand 2790 4 Kramnik 2786 5 Aronian 2781 6 Gashimov 2763 7 Gelfand 2759 8 Ivanchuk 2753 9 Svidler 2745 10 Morozevich 2742 11 Leko 2739 12 Radjabov 2738 13 Wang Yue 2738 14 Ponomariov 2738 15 Grischuk 2736 16 Eljanov 2734 17 Vachier-Lagrave 2727 18 Mamedyarov 2726 19 Jakovenko 2725 20 Karjakin 2723
