What is the problem? That the reigning world champion isn't also the highest rated player (or strongest player when there wasn't a serious rating system)? That has happened many times before, even not counting the PCA-FIDE title split era. Think of Karpov in 1975 when Fischer was in the background like Carlsen is now.
As for Caruana and Nakamura, well, they played in the same Candidates' as Gukesh. They didn't win it and Gukesh did, so what do you want to happen?
Pretty sure theyโre referencing the trophy icon being next to Ding still, not the actual ratings of the players.
Edit: Although I could be wrong. Iโm a bit confused why itโs the September 2023 ratings that they posted.
Because those are the rankings that are displayed in the [email protected] sidebar. They haven't been updated in over a year.
