News - Welcome to the official website of Natalia Pogonina!
Magnus Carlsen
While in Nov. 2011 there were 47 players rated above 2700, in Jan. 2012 there are only 44. Vachier-Lagrave, Dreev, Efimenko, Fressinet and Li Chao are not featured in this report due to falling below the 2700 threshold.
In the elite group the main result is Kramnik's rise to 3rd place, replacing Anand, whose play has been rather unimpressive lately. Carlsen is 9 points closer to Kasparov's all time record (2851), but still not there.
Biggest gainers: Jobava (+26), Domingez (+18), Mamedyarov (+14), Sasikiran (+11), Almasi (+10).
Worst losses: Anand (-12), Navara (-12), Adams (-10), Bacrot (-10), Movsesian (-10).
