In July, the final tournament of the profession ended, and the dust settled on the rating and rankings. Li Xuanhao, who is nearly 30 years old, increased his 5-1 rating by 12.4 points in July to 2708. Since Ke Jie fell below 2700 in August 2023 and handed over the first person throne, Gu Zihao has been on the top for 6 months, Ding Hao for 1 month, Ke Jie for 3 months, and Li Xuanhao has reached the top for the second time last month. During this period, only Gu Zihao's 2714 broke through 2700 in November 2023, and it was not until July that Li Xuanhao won the first place before breaking through 2700 again.
This month's rating score is based on the bingoweiqi established by the vertical and horizontal free group, and the final announcement by the Chinese Chess Academy shall prevail.
