Vidit at a career high 2721.2 ELO after IOM tournament.
Third tournament in a row where he has played at a 2750+ level; he is very clearly one of our 2 best players over the last year along with Vishy.

Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi WR#34 Sep 2017
Over the last 12 months, definitely.
Will he ever get to Hari's best level (ELO of 2770)? He needs to improve his endgame a lot; he should have beaten Ding Liren at the World Cup if he could finish endgames against other top players.

Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi WR#28 Jan 15, 2018
With two nice victories in ongoing Tata Steel Challengers Vidit jumps to his highest ever live rating and ranking. Vidit is now #28 with rating of 2725.4. As he still have to play another 10 games, he has a good chance to improve further in this tournament and reach a new high.
Update: Wins against Harika (3rd win in a row) moves him to #27 with 2727.6 points.

Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi
Vidit with a very professional performance to win the challengers group at Wijk aan zee with 9/13 and justify his #1 seeding. He will also get an invitation to the masters tournament next year. Hopefully this performance also gets him invited to a few more super GM tournaments this year.
Ends the tournament with 2723.3 and a ranking of 30.
Not sure if our protocol here is to use official fide rankings in which he hasn't reached #27 yet.

Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi
Visagu is #16 now.
Request: Maybe a kind moderator will remove the WR#27 etc. from the title?
