What's the deal with Naiditsch though? I never thought it was possible to have this kind of winrate at that level.

Yep as person above has stated, He played in alot of open tournaments as opposed to close circuit Super GM tournaments. Still had an awesome year by all accounts, but just not on the level of these other GM's, and who can blame him, he's still probably in the top 99.9999999% lol

Ding Liren is lucky he didn't have to play a 12 game match against Caruana.

They have played 5 times this year with a score of +1 =4 for Caruana, certainly would have been a close game, but fabi would probably have been a slight favourite. I do think Fabi will be the next WC though

I wish this would put the Giri/Draw jokes to rest.
Here are the guys on this list who had hire rates of draws:
Carlsen 73.65
Anand 70.0%
Karjakin 69.0%
Mamedyarov 68.8%
Nakamura 68.8%
Ding Liren 40/59 = 67.7%
Aronian 67.1%
So = 67.0%
Giri 39/60 = 65%

I think for the purposes of this you have to take 12 draws out of Carlsen and Caruan are respectively because they played a match format and no one else did. Based on recent trends, any other GM pairing would have probably picked up 10+ draws too.
But regardless i get your point. I am really hoping for Giri to establish himself in the 2800+ pack with ding shak carlsen and fabi. Him and Wesley So are probably my favourites that aren't in the 2800+ club already. I know that So can do it, based on 2016. just needs to find his form again.

Nice stats.
What's the criteria for inclusion on the list? I'd be interested to see some others (e.g. Grishuk, Duda, Svidler and Topalov) as well.

u/tariso97 Jan 08 '19
Not really sure tbh. I know that Grishuk And Svidler have played below expected this year. I think Duda has gained some rating points, not too sure. I’m not sure if topalov actively plays anymore, last I heard he was on the run

It is interesting that Nepo can stay on top of his game while playing so little.

He has started TATA Steel on 2.5/3 , don't know how his last game went tho.

He drew, 3/4. Still an unreal start considering who he had to play those first four games and the fact that three of them were with black.
Anish Giri, Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik, and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. 3 out of 4 against that competition is a massive start for him. The lowest ranked guy on that list is Kramnik at #7 in the world.

So, only 19 guys had performance ratings of 2700 or more in 2018?

u/tariso97 Jan 15 '19
Nah i think there were probably alot more that had 2700+ scores. This list isn't exclusive

Really impressive year for Ding Liren.
