Countries by top-10 mean

A federation's score is the average rating of its ten highest-rated players.

How this is measured

A federation with fewer than ten rated players has no mean and sorts last. Active players exclude anyone FIDE flags inactive; GM and IM counts include inactive title-holders. Players who play under the FIDE flag, and the NON code, belong to no federation here.

Where these numbers come from11 Oct 2026

Ratings are the FIDE standard rating list for OCT26 (ratings.fide.com), downloaded on 11 Oct 2026. 569,653 rated rows were read; 221,403 are active.

Players registered under the FIDE flag (code FID) and unassigned players (NON) are left out of the country table. FID players can still appear in the top 100, where the federation reads “FIDE flag” and carries no link.

More on how the site credits prizes to places is on The Mind of the Metros.
