This article is merely a mirror of the FIDE lists and should be deleted. Peter Ballard ( talk) 01:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't see why this exists when the two actually aren't separated from playing. We might as well make separations based on nationality, as well. Just because no women are in the top 20 does not warrant making a new list for them. -- 173.3.154.230 ( talk) 17:43, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
See what I mean? I followed the link here and the rankings are a month out of date. This is what happens when articles get created which need to be constantly updated. All links to this article should instead be links to http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men Adpete ( talk) 05:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
As I write, Fabiano Caruana's rating is sufficient to put him number 1 in the Junior table. However, it should also therefore show him at number 18 in the main list, too. If Juniors are excluded from the main list, the article should reflect that. -- Dweller ( talk) 11:01, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't "World Rankings" in this title be devoid of capital letters? Toccata quarta ( talk) 09:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I would agree. Looking at other sports there doesn't appear to be any consistent rule though. Most pages have "World Rankings" with the capitals Steveg922 ( talk) 14:51, 27 November 2013 (UTC).
Will people please stop adding Wesley So to the Juniors list, he is no longer a junior according to FIDE, and no longer listed among the top juniors in their ranking list: http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=juniors Steveg922 ( talk) 17:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
There are some players in the Top 20 girls rating list that I unlinked because they are neither WGM nor national/continental/world champions. The list is updated every month, so they may not stay there forever. I don't think being in the list stands for notability. Sophia91 ( talk) 19:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
I am going to add several columns including age. Any objections?-- Dixtosa ( talk) 17:31, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Today we have a jump in rating by around 100 point as opposed to 30-40 years ago. Also players say that today it's easier to build rating that it was in the past. It would be good to cover that. Maybe like average rating for top 5/10/20 in every decade and highest rating achieved in a given decade. 213.149.51.126 ( talk) 16:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
I think this is a good idea. Might this inflation be directly connected with the huge development and massive use of computer chess programs? (Stockfish, Alphazero and so on...) Another reason might be the fact that chess is played by many more players today, especially over the Internet via platforms such as chess.com, lichess etc. There may be a general increase of the Elo rating in the wide population, which then also reflects in the top players.

The FIDE lists that are included here with averages of the federations' top ten players are wrong. I've written to them about this; for details, see the last email at the bottom of User:Joriki/FIDE discrepancies. Joriki ( talk) 11:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
@ A3811: please discuss these kind of moves first. This is a poor choice of name. If you look at the current sources, three of the five literally have "Chess rankings" in the title. The current title also violates WP:LOWERCASE, as articles are written in sentence case. Also, see WP:COMMONNAME, as the 'correct', often branded or sponsored name, is not what is used on Wikipedia. Greenman ( talk) 12:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Canadianwarrior1:. Thanks for updating the figures. However, the recent changes you made to FIDE rankings are all incorrectly sourced. For example, for the open changes, the reference is correct, but you've left the access date as December, which is obviously impossible for a January update. For the women's ratings, the reference points to ratings from a specific date, none of which match what you've changed. Please ensure changes are correctly sourced. Greenman ( talk) 21:53, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
After several months of no updates, the rankings were updated for January 2024, however the girls rankings have still not been updated since the 1st October, now over 3 months ago. Readers interested in the subject will be met with out of date information, 3 world rankings list out of date. The fact that the entire rest of the article has been updated, but not this section is bizarre and could be seen as favoring male players over female ones by some readers. This practice is more understandable in usual months, when lists may be relatively similar to the previous month, but is especially noticeable in January, when the lists are changed significantly and thus the information given to readers will be increasingly out of date and incorrect. 92.40.214.121 ( talk) 14:56, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
