Nice information provide by you.
You are doing very well job! keep it up.
Russia is the only country where the European Champion hardly manages to get to the #10 spot! 🙂
Kramnik is still the best
It can’t be true what doesn’t let be true.
Why should Kramnik be the best, drawing and losing all the time?
It is good that the young generation finally comes up!
okay
Just shows how FIDE rating is stupid. Made by weak chess players like Arpad Elo.
