10/04/2004 - I got this story from Chessbase. The FIDE rating charts came out recently. Here are the top six.
Kramnik's number 3 spot is under attack by Topalov and
Morozevich. Well we already know the rating system is flawed. It's a good
general statistic. The chart above identifies the top players in the world.
