Carlsen is World No.1; Wesley So is No.64

GM Magnus Carlsen of Norway skyrocketed to his career-high of 2813 Elo rating to retain his No.1 world ranking in the FIDE March 2010 rating list.

Carlsen added 3.0 Elo points more to his January 2010 rating to solidify his hold of the No.1 spot.

GM Wesley So climbed up from his previous 77th world ranking last January to 64th this month by earning 9.3 Elo points from his two previous campaigns in Corus and Aeroflot. He is now the No.2 in the world in the U-18 (active players) category and No.1 in Asia in the same category.
