With Kamsky's victory over Topalov, he not only propels himself into the Top 15 FIDE live ratings, he also edges Nakamura into the Number 7 spot, just 2 points shy of being a top 5 player in the world. We are close to having two Americans in the Top 10; any ideas if that has ever happened before (Seriwan and Kamsky, for example?)

Cool! Never would have guessed that one.
Wow, Matt, that surprised me, too. Go, Lubosh! (Or is that, "Went, Lubosh!")
