After back-to-back World Cup stops in Korea and Egypt, the Elo rankings gave us a perfect replay angle. Same players, same season — but very different outcomes. Some players climbed the table like they found a second wind, others slipped a bit under pressure, and a few proved they’re still the captains of this league.
Let’s break it down.
The Big Climbers (Who Came Back Stronger in Egypt)
Karakurt B. (Winner)
From 24th in Korea all the way up to 3rd in Egypt.
That’s not a small step — that’s a full sprint past the defense. One of the biggest moves on the entire board.
Ceulemans P.
Moved from 21st → 7th.
Pure experience showing. Calm, controlled, and efficient — like a veteran who knows when to slow the game down and when to attack.
Bao P.V. Bao
From 15th → 9th.
Solid improvement. No drama, just clean work and steady results.
Dick Jaspers
From 13th → 10th.
Already elite, but Egypt gave him a small boost. Still right in the title conversation.
Holding Their Ground (No Panic, No Drop)
These players showed why consistency matters in Elo systems.
Cho M.W. Cho
The captain stays on top. Even when the pressure rises, he keeps control of the table.
Eddy Merckx
#2 in both Korea and Egypt.
No swings, no surprises. Still the same icy focus, still chasing the top spot.
The Slips (Tough Tournament in Egypt)
Every season has tough away games. Egypt was one of them for a few big names.
G. Hofman
From 4th → 13th.
Strong start in Korea, but Egypt demanded more. Still dangerous, but dropped ground.
Hwang B.J.
From 10th → 20th.
A rough stretch. The ranking doesn’t lie — time to reset and bounce back.
J. Bury
From 9th → 16th.
Not a collapse, but clearly pushed down by others stepping up.
R. Legazpi
From 16th → 22nd.
One of those tournaments you shake off and move on from.
The message from the Elo table is clear:
Momentum matters
• New names are pushing into the top ranks
• Consistency is being rewarded
• No position feels completely safe anymore
New challengers are rising, veterans are adjusting, and the next World Cup could reshuffle everything again.
