FIDE-ratings of January 2015
Caruana wins A group. Navara wins B group.
I really think that Wesley So is over rated. Wesley must finish at least in the top 5 of the 77th Tata Steel to confirm his status as one of the elite GMs in the world today.
Wesley So Over rated ?? You live in Colorado? Are you high? He is already rated 5th in the master section! He went to Cuba won the Capa Blanca Memorial in his first try against GMs whose rating average was 2700!
