Azerbaijani grandmaster Shahriyar Mammadyarov is only 0.1 points away from the top "ten" in the current world ranking.
Idman.biz reports that Mammadyarov is in 11th place with 2744.9 points in the daily updated world ranking.
This indicator is 0.1 points less than the American Wesley So, who is in 10th place. If the situation continues until the end of August, Mammadyarov may remove So from the top "ten" of the FIDE ranking. The fact is that the international federation rounds the ratings to whole numbers in favor of the chess player.
Shahriyar will surpass his American rival due to his greater activity in the last month. Unlike the Azerbaijani grandmaster, So has not played any official games recently.
It should be noted that Shahriyar Mammadyarov last entered the top "10" of the FIDE ranking in September 2022. Later, his rating reached 2757 points.
Currently, the top "ten" of world rankings:
1. Magnus Carlsen (Norway, 2839.0)
2. Hikaru Nakamura (USA, 2807.0)
3. Fabiano Caruana (USA, 2784.0)
4. Arjun Erigaisi (India, 2782.6)
5. Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa (India, 2779.0)
6. Gukesh Dommaraju (India, 2776.0)
