Exactly ten years ago Lavieri listed the same having three Russians and Hungary also a double: Elo_2005. From 2005 to 2015 India's Anand went from #2 to #4, and remarkably Topolov unchanged at #3. Over the ten years Nakamura went from #43 to #2. In the current rankings, the gap between #1 Norway's Carlsen and USA's #2 Nakamura is ostensibly the same raw elo-pointwise as that between Nakamura and #7 China's Ding. That shows Carlsen's no longer being outrageously beyond several others. (Anyway as variantists, realize we at least refrained from calling their process Simpleminded Chess, on account of a hundred behind the scenes Computer Engines actually trouncing the lot, at least this time)
