Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
well…..what? Topalov is Number 1 Carlsen is no 3 and Anand is #2. Makes sense to me….
Topalov is King!
Anand is World Champion
Anand is second because he is not afraid to lay his rating on the line by playing many more matches.Unlike others he does not believe in “protecting” his ELO rating.If he did he would be at 2835.
AC
shazamit, did you even look at the list? Anand played 2 games while Topalov played 10. Carlsen played 12, Aronian played 13 while Gelfand 37 games. Anand was the least active among the top 5. So there goes your silly argument.
No Kamsky? Cool!!! I think it will last for a long time.
To Shazamit: None of the top players are afraid; they simply wouldn’t make it to this list if they were, and they’re all consistent members in this chart.
If you have to pick a numer one you have to go for the Wold Champion, which means Champion of the World.
No Gata Kamsky, no Bu Xiangzhi, no Judit Polgar. Quite a shakedown.
I think it’s time to factor in the number of “top-level” games played into ratings. At the least, there should be a minimum number played over the last 12 months, below which a player should not be listed. Ponomariov is still there, though I don’t recall him playing top-level for so long (wonder where his 3 games came from). Contrast him to Ivanchuk, who’s been joining almost all top events.
Topalov is the King !
Where is Kramnik ?
I do not see him 😉

Where is Kramnik ?
How where? Learn to play chess in the WC:))
You probably mean toilet, but Topalov should know Kramnik. He (Kramnik) did beat him (Topa) becoming World Champion last time they met in a match. Even at rapid speed which didn’t leave much time to leave a table for that matter.
Topa is dangerous, but not at all dominating the scene. He needs a title WC to make a claim of some sort.
And then he has to do the same outside his highly protected hometown!
Realy? Where?
What Topa needs he takes on board, not from toilet!
