Great to see Kramnik back in the tops, I expect him to rise even higher than that. Great to see Kamsky rise, I’m sure he will pass 2700 mark very soon. Astonishing leap from Navara, someone to watch out for.
Tell Judit to get cracking. I expect to see back in the Top Ten. Besides, I still have a bet with a friend that she will be the first female World Champion. 🙂
Seirawan # 3 on the US list.
He’s been playing great lately.
I can’t wait to see Gata Kamsky reach 2800 and become World Champ as he said in an interview recently.
It seems to me that Topalov (2813) now passed Kasparov’s (2812) as highest ever ranked player. Am I wrong?

No, Kasparov’s highest ever rating was 2851 back in 2001.
