yeah, it should be updated every tournament, it`s sooo easy to do...

Yes, go Humpy go..

I agree with Davy J123.

 

Apparently, in the past, tournaments have been included in the list that finished one week after the deadline. However, in this case did not include an event that finished only maybe 2-3 days after the deadline. I think they didn't include it because it was not a Fide event, I think I read that somewhere.

  Alot of people favour that commonsense should prevail over deadlines. Also, I don't think it would have been a HUGE amount of work to add the tournament.

Somebody that knows something about data inputing and list compiling please step in and finish my moan for me..........thanks :)

@ knightking :

•  g = grossmaster
• m= international master
• mf = FIDE master
• wg= women grossmaster
• wm= women international master
• wf= women fide master 

What do the different initials under the title coloumn stand for?

On the women's list: Koneru, Humpy is, from the october 2007,  the second women in history with more then 2600 points! And she is still on a way up (+19 in last three months)! She is near to the top 100! Go Humpy, go!

The deadline feels a bit early, but on the other hand it's quite a lot of tournaments to be included in it, as well as hundreds of thousands players to be taken into account before the calculations are done. They have to draw the line somewhere. Hans Arild Runde is monitoring fewer than 50 players for his excellent live list, though I don't know the exact number.

Carlsen might possibly benefit from this "rating lag" however, as his rating changes will be counted from 2775, rather than 2791.

The most notable case where FIDE counted a too-late tournament for the list was Linares, which meant Anand securing first place on the rating list but this is not standard procedure at all. The protests got too large for them to do otherwise then. This is by no means a standard procedure, just an exceptional case.

What a nonsense. FIDE have included events in the past that have been in progress when the final date for submission has passes. You would have thought they would be more interested in accurately reporting who is playing the best chess in the world at the current time.

Thanks for posting.  At #55 Baadur Jobava is a man with a ton of ability.  I first noticed him when he played former Australian champion, IM Gary Lane, in the second round of the World Cup a couple of years ago.  Very strong player -- who could easily go higher.

yep lots of high rated guys.

YAY Yelena and Rusudan--way to go!!!!!!!

What's the reason for the deadline anyway? It's not like it takes a big effort to calculate the ratings. Isn't that live-site maintained by some random chess fan? Couldn't a huge organization like FIDE do the same?...

why not just update the ratings live? chess is slow enough as it is no need to slow down stuff like this. i know the celtics beat the lakers but lets wait for the official results please hah!
