Leinier did not vary his rating (2723 points), but rose from 25th to 24th spot, to establish himself as leader of Latin America and third in the continent, behind the Americans Hikaru Nakamura (9th with 2767) and Gata Kamsky (18th with 2740).
Bruzón added six points to his score, and reached the 2707 rating for placing on the seat 38th, which exceeds in 10 spots his position in January´s ranking. The "top ten" of the world had little changes since again, Russian Vladimir Kranmik (2810) and Armenian Levon Aronian ( 2807) are Carlsen's escorts to form a privileged trio over 2800 elo points.
