A quick look suggests that losers include Anand (down 5 and within
reach of a number of players now), Morozevich (hemorrhaging points
and down to 8th), Van Wely (down from 14th to 43rd), Motylev,
Shipov, Kobalia, Rustemov. Dropping out of the top 100 altogether:
Macieja, Kozul, Papaioannou, Gulko, Chuchelov, Najdoski, Asrian,
Rozentalis, Portisch, Shulman, Magomedov, Speelman and Conquest
partially because 2596 instead of 2598 was enough to get in last time.
Winners include Topalov (at 4 now), Ponomariov (up 16 points and to
6th now) Gelfand (into the top 10), Grischuk (13th and over 2700),
Malakhov, Sasikiran (a big new entry), Graf (back to more like his old
form), Kaidanov, Vescovi, Radjabov, Volkov, Milov, Vladimirov,
Novikov (now USA), Bu Xiangzhi (the Chinese wonderkind makes it
into the top 100 for the first time) and Korneev.
