Happy 33rd birthday to Teimour Radjabov! 🎊🎈🎉🎁🎂

2019 FIDE World Cup winner Teimour Radjabov will be sadly missed at the #FIDECandidates but his reasons for stepping out (i.e. the #coronavirus) are getting more understandable by the day...

The April, 1964 issue of Chess Life features some historic and contemporary Elo rating calculations by Arpad Élő.
This was his top ten for the period 1961-63.
