I see that not only has Mr Schroder got things wrong, but so have FIDE, the
Governing Body for World Chess!  :-))

In their official list at

http://www.chessweb.com

pointed to by

http://www.fide.com

they make exactly the same error as Mr Schroder!  They too believe Anand is #2,
not #4. Please write to them marking matters for the attention of Kirsan N.
Iljumzhinov, whom I understand may oversee certain clerical functions there, and
bring this serious error to their attention, giving the logic you have used...
If their reply could be posted somewhere I for one would take the time to read
it.

Kind regards

PS: You may have to explain to FIDE, among other *many* things, why the
following is wrong:
"The results for Karpov v Anand has already been used in arriving at the ratings
of those players.  To use it again would constitute double-counting."
