Nepomniachtchi reached his peak live rating yesterday, 17th on the all time list; third in the world
He has 3 rounds of the Russian championship left to gain 6.6 rating points
EDIT he drops back to finish at 2789 going into the Tata Steel Masters in January

Still, nice to see Nepo in good form and 2800 seems very realistic if it continues. I think his reputation was as an underachiever in his mid twenties, despite being consistently in the top 20. But he does seems to being praised for a more professional approach now.
I noticed when checking Nepo on 2700chess that Mickey has gained a couple of places while inactive. Svidler, who is now semi-retired, losing a few points is to be expected. But 22 year old Artemiev losing 50 points over the last 18 months is an unpleasant surprise. I was expecting him to challenge for 2800 in the next few years.
I have a theory that the lockdown probably helps those who are diligent theoreticians, like Dubov for example, but hurts those with a reputation for being practical players who rely more on their talent like Artemiev.

As of 6 October 2018: a timeline for when the members (past and present) of the 2800 club (those with a FIDE rating of 2800 or above) first achieved that distinction, with their ages:
*January 1990 - Garry Kasparov (2800) aged 26 (peak - 2856; March 2000)
*July 2001 - Vladimir Kramnik (2802) aged 26 (peak - 2817; October 2016)
*January 2006 - Veselin Topalov (2801) aged 30 (peak - 2816; July 2015)
*April 2006 - Viswanathan Anand (2803) aged 36 (peak - 2817; March 2011)
*November 2009 - Magnus Carlsen (2801) aged 18 (peak - 2882; May 2014)
*November 2010 - Levon Aronian (2801) aged 28 (peak - 2830; March 2014)
*August 2014 - Fabiano Caruana (2801) aged 22 (peak - 2844; October 2014)
*December 2014 - Alexander Grischuk (2810) aged 31 (peak - 2810; December 2014)
*June 2015 - Hikaru Nakamura (2802) aged 27 (peak - 2814; July 2015)
*August 2016 - Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (2819) aged 25 (peak - 2819; August 2016)
*January 2017 - Wesley So (2808) age 23 (peak - 2822; February 2017)
*June 2017 - Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (2800) age 32 (peak - 2820; September 2018)
*September 2018 - Ding Liren (2804) age 25 (peak - 2804; September 2018)
The peak ratings are as of the October 2018 list, and some may change later. Only five people have ever been above 2820 on a published rating list.
Ding now 2816 in the November 2018 list
We can now add:
December 2021 - Alireza Firouzja (2804) age 18

As long as he doesn't play any games between now and the December rating list that might jeopardise his 2800 rating then yes.
