After finally receiving his 13 points gained at the Pearl Spring tournament in December and earning 3 more from his match against Kamsky, Veselin Topalov tops the April 2009 FIDE rating list at 2812. Radjabov, Jakovenko and Morozevich all lost points and so without playing rated games Kramnik climbed to 4th behind Anand and Carlsen. Ivanchuk lost 33 rating points and dropped to 12th place.
Today FIDE published its new rating list, which for probably the first time has an identical top 10 as the famous "live list" Hans Arild Runde which you can also find in the far right column on this website.

With 2812,
Veselin Topalov is just one point below his personal record of 2813 which he reached with the publication of the July 2006 list. At the MTel Masters in Sofia in May he can try to break his career's record rating.World Champion Viswanathan Anand lost 8 points in Linares, but the Indian is still in second place. The gap is now 29 points - quite a wide margin at top level. Magnus Carlsen lost six points but is still third, 13 points behind Anand.Vladimir Kramnik did not play rated games since the Olympiad in Dresden and so his rating stayed at 2759, enough for a 4th place in the world rankings since three players above him lost points: Radjabov (-5), Jakovenko (-7) and Morozevich (-20!). Aronian won 4 points and is back in the top 10; he climbed from place 11 to 6.
![Ivanchuk](https://www.chess.com/bundles/web/images/image-default.445cb543.svg)
The unpredictable
Vassily Ivanchuk is out of the top 10; he dropped no less than nine places, from 3rd in the world to 12th. Vugar Gashimov climbed a bit further, from 19th to 16th, getting closer and closer to the absolute top.In the October list there were 32 players with a FIDE rating above 2700 but just like in January there are now 31. Sasikiran and Vallejo Pons left that group while Malakhov, Nakamura and Naiditsch entered / came back.In the women's list there are not many changes at the top. Judit Polgar still tops at 2693 as she didn't play rated games after the Dresden Olympiad, where she was very ill and lost 18 points. Nana Dzagnidze climbed from 8th to 5th place, behind Koneru, Hou Yifan and Stefanova. The gap between Hou Yifan and Koneru is just 22 points now, after Koneru lost 9 points and Hou won 19.Winning 3 points, Caruana is back in the top 5 Juniors list as Rodshtein dropped 23 of his 41 points he had won on the previous list.Below you'll find the new top 100, the top 100 women, the top 20 juniors and the top 20 girls. We give the lists including the changes with the previous list. All data courtesy of FIDE.
