FIDE ratings May 2023

The world’s chess elite did not play too many classical games in April, so there were no major changes at the top of the world rankings. However, the FIDE World Championship match, which ended on the last day of April, affected the list: Ding Liren gained one point (new: 2789, 3rd place), Ian Nepomniachtchi lost one point (new: 2794, 2nd place). But with a rating of 2853, Magnus Carlsen – though no longer World Champion – is still the clear number one.
