Top climbers and descenders

We are listing all players from the top 100 who gained or lost five or more points. Surprisingly there is a fair number, in spite of the short interval. The most important climber is, of course, Magnus Carlsen, who gained thirteen points at the London Chess Classic, to shatter Kasparov's 12-year record. Vlad Kramnik had an even steeper climb, gaining 15 points at the same tournament. Levon Aronian lost 13 points in London and switched places with Kramnik in the world rankings. Other notables: the Chess Classic gained Hikaru Nakamura nine points, Michael Adams 15, and it lost 15 for Luke McShane. Gata Kamsky lost 22 points, while GM Sergei Zhigalko from Byelorussia managed to lose 31 points in just one month.
