Putting Names to Numbers
In Countries with World Top-100 Players, I identified those countries having the most world class players as of January 2013. Who exactly are those players? The following lists show top-100 rank and FIDE rating for each player as of January 2013.
Russia (RUS); >2700, plus 13 other players on top-100
- 02: 2810 Kramnik, Vladimir
- 06: 2780 Karjakin, Sergey
- 11: 2764 Grischuk, Alexander
- 12: 2758 Morozevich, Alexander
- 15: 2747 Svidler, Peter
- 20: 2734 Jakovenko, Dmitry
- 22: 2727 Andreikin, Dmitry
- 27: 2722 Tomashevsky, Evgeny
- 34: 2709 Malakhov, Vladimir
- 40: 2705 Riazantsev, Alexander
- 42: 2703 Nepomniachtchi, Ian
Ukraine (UKR)
- 13: 2758 Ivanchuk, Vassily
- 21: 2733 Ponomariov, Ruslan
- 28: 2722 Volokitin, Andrei
- 29: 2720 Areshchenko, Alexander
- 43: 2703 Moiseenko, Alexander
- 52: 2696 Efimenko, Zahar
- 56: 2690 Korobov, Anton
- 69: 2678 Eljanov, Pavel
- 79: 2666 Kryvoruchko, Yuriy
France (FRA)
- 30: 2713 Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime
- 38: 2706 Fressinet, Laurent
- 44: 2703 Bacrot, Etienne
- 64: 2686 Edouard, Romain
- 83: 2661 Gharamian, Tigran
- 92: 2654 Istratescu, Andrei
- 102: 2650 Tkachiev, Vladislav
China (CHN)
- 14: 2752 Wang, Hao
- 33: 2709 Ding, Liren
- 46: 2702 Wang, Yue
- 60: 2688 Yu, Yangyi
- 73: 2675 Bu, Xiangzhi
- 74: 2674 Li, Chao b
I could probably identify around half of those players from photos, with the Chinese players presenting the biggest challenge. Perhaps I should do some work to improve that score.
