Peak is a player's highest rating on any of FIDE's monthly rapid lists since July 2012. When a player reached the same peak more than once, the first month is shown; 'By Jul 2012' means the peak was already on the earliest list we have for that player, so it may be older. Latest is the rating on the most recent list that rates the player. Players are listed under the federation they represent today, with every rating they have held, including ratings held while representing another federation.
