Understanding the Players and Formats
- Eight players: Carlson, Caruana, Nakamura, Anand, Taplov, Vidit, Harikrishna, Boris.
- Formats played: Classic (2 players), Rapid (3 players), Blitz (3 players).
- Distinct increases in ratings for each player.
Key Constraints
- The lowest increase in Classic > highest increase in Rapid.
- The lowest increase in Rapid > highest increase in Blitz.
Analyzing Player Ratings
1. Anand's Position:
- At least two players increased their ratings more than Anand.
- Anand's increase is not lower than Harikrishna’s, which means Anand is not the lowest-rated player.
2. Vidit and Boris:
- Vidit did not play Blitz, and his increase is less than Boris’s.
- This establishes that Boris has a higher rating than Vidit.
3. Carlson's Performance:
- Carlson achieved the highest increase in Blitz, meaning he cannot be in Classic or Rapid formats.
4. Nakamura's Ranking:
- Nakamura is not the lowest-rated player, which rules him out from being in the lowest tier of ratings.
5. Caruana's Rating:
- Caruana did not play Blitz and his increase is less than Harikrishna’s, suggesting he has a lower rating compared to at least one player.
Conclusion: Highest Rating in Rapid Format
- Given that Anand did not have the lowest rating and at least two players rated higher than him, alongside Caruana having a rating lower than Harikrishna, it can be inferred that Harikrishna likely had the highest increase in the Rapid format.
Thus, the correct answer is Anand (option B), as he has the highest increase in the Rapid format among the players.

The two players who played Classic got highest increase in their FIDE Ratings, the three players who played Rapid got increase in their FIDE Ratings less than Classic players and the three players who played Biltz got increase in their FIDE Ratings less than Rapid players.
Hence, we can order the eight players from 1 to 8 such that 1st and 2nd are Classic, and 3rd, 4th and 5th are Rapid, and 6th, 7th and 8th are Biltz.
Carlson got the highest increase in rating in Biltz. So, his order is 6.
From conditions 1, 2 and 5, it is clear that Anand, Harikrishna, Caruana, Vidit, Boris not played Biltz. So, Carlson, Nakamura and Taplov played Biltz.
From condition 4, Nakamura did not get the lowest increase in his rating. So, Nakamura's order is 7 and Taplov's order is 8.
From conditions 1 and 5, at least two players increase their ratings more than Anand did, and Anand did not increase his ratings less than Harikrishna did, and Caruana increased his rating less than Harikrishna did. So, the order of Anand, Harikrishna and Caruana is 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
From condition 2, Vidit, who did not played Biltz, has his increase of rating at just less than the increase of Boris. So, the order of Boris and Vidit is 1 and 2, respectively.
Anand got the highest increase in rating in Rapid format.
