India's Viswanathan Anand has regained his World No 2 ranking. In the ranking list published by
World Chess Federation, FIDE on October 10, 2000 Viswanathan
Anand is ranked second behind Gary Kasparov with a rating of 2774. Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, who held the second spot for a brief period, is ranked third with
2772.
In the women's list, India's Vijayalakshmi Subburaman broke the barrier of
2400 for the first time. Viji, who became a WGM recently in the Wipro
GM tournament at Hyderabad, is marching surely towards her next goal
of becoming a Men International Master. Vijayalakshmi who is ranked 39th in the latest list with an Elo of
2402 already has two IM Norms to her credit.
Chennai Grandmaster Krishnan Sasikiran has made considerable gains and is inching towards the
2600 mark. He is ranked 98th with a rating of 2594, largely due to his
excellent performances in the GM tourneys at Chennai and Hyderabad
earlier this year. In the top 20 boys, there are two Indians, Sasikiran in the fifth place and P Harikrishna at 20th with
2506. The latest corrections are dated October 09, 2000.
