There is a bigger gap between world number 1 Magnus Carlsen and number 2 Levon Aronian than there is between Aronian and number 16 Anish Giri in the latest Live Ratings.

The thing that i find amazing is if you look at the all time highest live scores on that page, Fischer is still ranked 13th, 41 years after he retired!
He must be since the rating is based on how many games you win....
My question is, does he have the strength to get to the 2900's?
I think he will be losing points during the coming world championship, even a draw means a point or two and there WILL be a bunch of draws.
