Where does you country rank?

Countries are ranked by averaging the ratings of their leading ten players. Russia is not surprising the World's leading country followed by the Ukraine and China.
In the picture, the two highest-rated Russians met in this year's Melody Amber tournament.

Of the 37 players who are rated 2700 or more, twelve are Russian.

France is the top Western European nation whereas China just pips India to be the top Asian power.

Not making the top twenty, Argentina (24th) and Brazil (25th) are the strongest southern hemisphere countries.

The United States and Germany have many Grandmasters but lack elite level players which explains their rather low overall ranking.

Azerbaijan and Cuba have rather few grandmasters, but have managed to nurture relatively highly rated ones.
