Armenian grandmaster Levon Aronian has maintained his status as the world's second best player in the latest rankings published by international chess's governing body, FIDE, on Wednesday.
The top player list updated bimonthly shows Aronian having a rating of 2820, trailing the top-ranked grandmaster Magnus Carlsen from Norway by 15 points.
