And blitz STARTING at 2800🙂

Here is the January slow game list:

http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men

Carlsen almost as high on that list as Naka is on blitz!

Notice a big drop out of the 2800's in the January list, only 2 now. I wonder how long it will take Carlsen to get 28 more points?

I see on the top 100 list, there are a half dozen players there younger than Carlsen, so he will have them to deal with in a few years.

Carlsen, Nakamura, Grischuk, Anand, and Karjakin made all three lists (Classical, Rapid, & Blitz)

Mamedyarov (#12) missed the top 10 classical list by two rating points.
