Losing crucial rating points

GMs So, Antonio lose crucial Elo rating points
Cebu Daily News 6:55 am | Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

THE country’s top chess players Wesley So and Rogelio Antonio Jr. dropped their Elo rating points based in the latest World Chess Federation (FIDE) ratings list for July.

The 17-year-old So lost nine Elo rating points while Antonio gave up 24 Elo points.

From his previous 2667, GM So, the No. 6 junior player in the world dropped to 2658. He is ranked No. 89 among the world’s players. Antonio on the other hand, dropped from 2589 to 2565.

However, So and Antonio who are both members of the Philippine Chess Team that won silver in last year’s Asian Games in Guangzhou, China are expecting to increase their Elo rating points when the 2011 Battle of the Grandmasters unreels on July 16 to 23.

“Kumpiyansa ako muling aangat ang rating nina Wesley (So) at Joey (Antonio). Marami pa naman silang naka line up na chess events,” said International Arbiter and National Master Erwin Carag.

Rounding up the Top 15 FIDE-RP list are No. 3 GM Mark Paragua (Elo 2545), No. 4 GM Joseph Sanchez (Elo 2534), No. 5 GM John Paul Gomez (Elo 2529), No. 6 GM Darwin Laylo (Elo 2528), No. 7 GM Roland Salvador (Elo 2527), No. 8 IM Oliver Barbosa (Elo 2514), No. 9 GM Julio Catalino Sadorra (Elo 2495), No. 10-11 IM Richard Bitoon (Elo 2491) and GM Eugene Torre (Elo 2491), No. 12 IM Ronald Dableo (Elo 2445), No. 13 GM Buenaventura Villamayor (Elo 2440), No. 14 IM Rolando Nolte and No. 15 IM Rolly Martinez (Elo 2419)

Meanwhile, GM Magnus Carlsen of Norway (Elo 2821) is the top men’s player in the world while GM Judith Polgar of Hungrary (Elo 2699) is the top women’s player.

GM Le Quang Liem of Vietnam (Elo 2715) and GM Hou Yifan of China (Elo 2575), topped the 20 Juniors and 20 Girls, respectively while Russia is still the top chess country in the world with an average rating of 2734 with 205 GMs, 477 IMs and 2032 titled players.

The Philippines remains at No. 29 with an average rating of 2543 with 13 GMs, 22 IMs and 64 titled players. /Correspondent MARLON BERNARDINO

July 2011 FIDE rating list

July FIDE rating list
Inflation of top men ratings, deflation of top women ratings

The July FIDE rating list has been made official by the World Chess Federation. As expected, after the good performance in Bazna, Magnus Carlsen is number one rated player in the world. The top female player is Judith Polgar, as it has been for a total of 48 lists. On the first spot in the junior rating list joins Le Quang Liem after gaining valuable 19 points at Capablanca Memorial, while Yifan Hou is top girl, and also appears on 19th position in the junior rating list.

How the ratings looked 1 year ago

Top 100 rating inflation

The world's top 10 has undergone some substantial changes. Besides Carlsen substituting Anand on the first spot, Sergey Karjakin has become the number one Russian player. Ruslan Ponomariov has wings and reaches the 7th position, while Topalov, Nakamura, and Mamedyarov take the last positions in the top 10.

The players in top 10 will soon have the chance to decide everything over the board, as minimum five of the top six meet in Bilbao Grand Slam Final Masters 2011

The 2700 club has increased once more, with 42 players present. This reflects the general rating inflation of the top players in this period - after a stagnation period and average ELO rise of only 2 points (from 2695 in September 2010 to 2697 in May 2011), now we see the same amount added to the period of July. Thus, the current top 100 ELO average is 2699, just a point away from the psychological 2700.

Yu Yangi is a new entry to the top 100, jumping directly to position 71 with 33 ELO gain and rating of 2672. At positions 92-99 we find the other new entrants - Robert Markus (SRB), Yuriy Kryvoruchko (UKR), and Constantin Lupulescu (ROU).

The biggest rating loss in top 100 was Radoslaw Wojtaszek (38 points), while the biggest rating gain was Alexander Moiseenko (36 points).

Women ratings deflation

In the women's rating list a counter process is going on - ratings are undergoing a stagnation compared to 2009, and a deflation compared to 2010. The current top 100 average is 2438, the same number as in April 2009 and 5 points less than in March 2010.

The women players above 2500 points also decrease from 17 to 16.

The same process is seen in the girl's ratings, where despite the high instability, on average they have been decreasing in the last rating lists. The major news here is the appearance of Yifan Hou both on the girls and juniors top rating lists.
