In a Live Top List, rating changes and number of games & events rated are relative to the official FIDE list at the time the specific Live Top List is published. Lists published in May and June are relative to the April list, lists published in July, August and September are relative to the July list, and so on.
Games/tournaments rated in addition to the July 2009 list:
Unfinished events:
- Dortmund 2009 (0 rounds of 10) [Carlsen, Jakovenko, Kramnik, Leko, Bacrot, Naiditsch]
- Chinese League 2009 (Rounds 1-4 of 18) [Wang Yue, Motylev, Ni, Bu, Wang Hao]
Finished events:
- Capablanca Memorial (10 rounds) [Dominguez]
- III Ruy Lopez (7 rounds) [Adams]
- Bazna (10 rounds) [Radjabov, Ivanchuk, Shirov, Gelfand, Kamsky]
- French Team Cup Final (2 games rated) [Jakovenko, Vachier-Lagrave]
Messages:
- The ratings have been updated with the roundings of the FIDE July 2009 list.
- When the two first rounds of the Chinese League were rated, 5 rapid games were erroneously included. This was corrected in the update of 2009-05-06.
- Players mentioned in brackets [] in the tournaments listing (obviously) participated in the event, and their games have been rated for the top list. Note however, that I will only list players that are or have been present in the Live Top List, even if I "secretly" might rate other participants as well.
The Live Top List - Work In Progress
The functionality of the Live Top List is being extended - the most recent addition that changes the behaviour and capabilities, is that of a simple graph (bar) view, showing player ratings (in points above 2700) in addition to average for the top 10 and all of the 2700+ players. I intend to add at least one more bar view with more details about the top 10, and probably also some additional brush ups, like caching of the generated graphs. Currently everything is done on the fly, which is sort of nice, but a bit slow and might represent some strain on the web server during peak hours.
I don't have too much time to spend for this project, but I've (still) got more ideas for improvements and additions, and hopefully I'll get around to implementing even more of them soon - but don't hold your breath! Please do check back for rating updates, as those will take place quite regularly.
