RP's Top 10 (November 2010)

Based on the November 1, 2010 rating list released by FIDE, here are the country's Top 10 players. I have provided some notes based on the changes in the latest rankings vis-a-vis RP's Top 10 list in September 2010:

Some notes:

- GM Wesley So gained 1 Elo point to retain his No.1 ranking in RP which he has held since April 2008. At 17, Wesley is Asia's No.1 and world's No2 U-18 player today.

- Among RP's Top 10, Only GM Joey Antonio had no FIDE-rated game in the September-November rating period

- GM Darwin Laylo gained 5 Elo points to climb two steps in the ranking table from No.5 to No.3

- The GM title of Italy-based Roland Salvador was not announced yet (at least in the players' status in the FIDE ranking list). He gained 16 Elo points and is now tied with Laylo at No.3 post.

- GM John Paul Gomez shed 5 Elo points to slide from No.3 to No.5

- GM Paragua is back to the 2500-mark (now at 2509)

- Three Pinays (WFMs Chardine Cheradee Camacho, Catherine Pereña, and Shercila Cua made it to the Top 100. Let's hope to see more Pinays in the list, and in the upper part of the ladder!)

- WFM Camacho is now at No.62 with 2203 Elo rating, her personal best todate (Let's hope to see her WIM title awarded soon)
