What does that even mean "2926 (unofficial)" for Carlsen? : ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A317:4C3E:8980:4CD9:46E8:7F07:ECC1 (talk) 23:54, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Somebody should update Wei Yi's position on the list, now that he has achieved a new peak rating. I'd like to do it myself, only I'm terrible with tables on Wikipedia. FinalForm (talk) 08:27, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
Why not have a section on women?? 2500 as a cut off minimum for peak rating. Even though men and women are on surface considered equal in chess they are not. Results show that. So I think this "List of chess players " should contain section on female players, as they also play the game. 213.149.62.12 (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2019 (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 decade. 213.149.51.126 (talk) 16:11, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
The Country column isn't well handled. Flags are much harder to understand than text. I can't speak for everyone, but I recognize Azerbaijan at a glance with 100% accuracy, not so much. Second, listing every federation a player has been associated with in this table isn't smart. In this article the only relevant federation is the one the player had when they achieved their peak rating, so there should be exactly one entry per player.
Shirov is a perfect (that is to say, terrible) example that lists four federations, including Latvia twice for reasons impossible to discern from this article (although understandable perhaps to persons familiar with his peregrinations). The comment for Shirov helpfully notes that he was the highest rated Latvian player until 2018 which might lead the reader to assume that his peak rating was when he represented Latvia, but of course that's false.
Also as a matter of taste, the breaks into sections of ratings by irregularly spaced groups (2825-2899, 2800-2824, etc.) is strange and just makes the table longer and harder to read. The ratings are easily picked out of the Peak Rating column so this clutter isn't helpful. Quale (talk) 03:50, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
@Chessrat: I noticed you inserted some erroneous equals sign relatively recently in 2016 in this edit (which I've since corrected). Any idea how that happened? eπi (talk | contribs) 09:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

into a tooltip, for example ((Hover title|tied|((=))))
displays =.=
for a similar purpose. I would like to look at this issue in more detail before implementing the solution here, because it would be better to have consistency across multiple lists than to have piecemeal inconsistent implementations.do you guys want to keep the rating as is with only 1 entry per player instead of like 1 entry per player PER country?
For example you can see lists here https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/36691/list-of-chess-players-by-their-peak-fide-blitz-rating https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/36698/list-of-female-chess-players-by-peak-fide-rating-with-countries like multiple entries for So, Wesley, Firoozja, Alireza, Muzychuk, Anna, etc (and Muzychuk, Mariya but I guess for Muzychuk, Mariya it's not really about country but achieving the peak rating more than once [under the same flag] )
besides wesley so, it looks like the list also has the ff in similar situations: Boris Gelfand, Alireza Firouzja, Alexei Shirov, Sergei Movsesian, Étienne Bacrot, Arkadij Naiditsch, Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu
aaaaand not really familiar with wiki but are there like what polls for this? if 1 other person replies in agreement and no one else replies for awhile then does that mean we have permission to edit the page as such? i mean someone could always just disagree and revert it... (and then comment in the talk page after the reversion/revert/reversal(/grammar?)...)

what is up with the 0.2?
Thewriter006 (talk) 13:14, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Incorrect rating of 2811.2 was given. Changed this to the correct peak of 2810. Verified from FIDE rating list, player page, top 100 player's of all time FIDE list and player wiki.

[Bogdan-Daniel Deac]'s highest ELO was around 2700. Why he isn't at the list? 158.181.81.192 (talk) 02:01, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
'I removed the comment "Highest ranked filipino born player" from wesley so, because, if we really consider it, we will have to write such statements for so many players like, fabi, firouzja. Its best not to mention the "highest ranked x-born" title'
but then taken back next edit? soooo changed mind? it's actually ok to say it? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_chess_players_by_peak_FIDE_rating&type=revision&diff=1114439795&oldid=1114380835 Thewriter006 (talk) 16:25, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I think it's the open version of 'TIL every female chess grandmaster is alive.'
Thought it might be worth mentioning similar to the female case. Thewriter006 (talk) 15:12, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
