Subject: TOP 10 AT GAMEKNOT

Message:
This is for us to keep track of the movement of the top 10 here at gameknot. I know you can look it up, but it's interesting to follow who are the best here. Another interesting fact--Cyrano has dropped to 3rd!

1) rodog--2512
2) mateintwo--2480
3) cyrano--2473
4) high--2462
5) masros--2459
6) anakin66--2455
7) papani--2443
8) javel--2434
9) tie between losloper and sorceress_queen--2414
10) fujiwarano_sai--2409

This is the current top 10 as they stand in the ranks--feel free to post updates as they change.

I have faith that cyrano won't be in third for very long.

Interesting note is that high is the highest-rated free member on the site. Appropriately named.

My personal top three...

Message:
...is

1. cyrano
2.. masros
3. sorceress_queen

..it's very tight at the top, but that's what i think because they all have over 50 games running. IMO, a combination of a very high rating and playing a lot of games, especially against quality opposition means that you are vulnerable to draws. Indeed, cyrano has not lost for while, but had a string of draws.

IMHO. :)

borissp

Message:
A note about the player by the name of borissp--I looked at the board tonight and he came out of nowhere with a current rank of 2404. He is 14th right now, but in his two matches against rodog--he came out with two draws. His current record is an amazing 96-2-23...and he has beaten some of the best here including zoltantor....

Expect his to break into the top 10 sometime soon, I think. He has great potential and has appeared on my radar. If he is able to draw against the great rodog, he has some talent and it will be interesting to see if he makes it onto the top 10 pretty soon....

12/15/07 Top Ten

Message:
1. rodog--2502(-7)
2. mateintwo--2480 (=)
3. tie between cyrano--2471 (=) and high--2471 (+5)
4. anakin66--2463 (=)

8. losloper--2419 (=)
9. borissp--2410 (+6) (just as I predicted)
10. sorceress_queen--2407 (-5)

Slight changes, but the top ten remains similar. borissp makes his first appearance and high is now tied with cyrano. Rodog has dropped to 2502 and if this continues, we may not have anyone above 2500....I will keep you updated on the changing top 10.

TOP TEN ON 1/19/08

Message:
It's been awhile since I've updated this, but I should note that the mighty Cyrano has returned from his slumber and is once more a threat. He now securely holds 2nd place again, and is posed for attack on number #1.

1. rodog--2507 (=)
2. cyrano--2494 (+16)
3. high--2482 (+6)
4. mateintwo--2480 (=)
5. papani--2473 (+9)
6. anakin66--2462 (-7)
7. javel--2461 (+29)
8. sorceress_queen--2428 (+13)
9. tie between carlosmart and lucasvervoort--2424 (both new to the the top #10)
10. losloper--2421 (+2)

Amazing jumps by cyrano, javel, and sorceress_queen as well as two new players who have surfaced in the top 10 make things interesting. How long can rodog continue holding the top position.

High reaches an all time high (bad pun) at 2491 and Cyrano is now within 2 points of Rodog. Is it possible that we might have 3 people over 2500 before the day is out?

OTB chess and correspondence chess require different skillsets, so only a few players managed to get high titles in both.

I got curious so looked up cairo's profile (gameknot.com).
He has 2 IM norms in correspondence chess, but I did not find him on FIDE at all.

You can look at full FIDE list of players (including inactive ones) here: www.fide.com

I know that from Croatia there is at least 1 FIDE master (FM) and 3 master candidates (MK - including myself) active on GameKnot. There could be more but some players are anonymous.
