Definition of columns in the above list:

# refers to the player's all-time rank on this list, compared to all other players in their peak 1-year range.

Player is the full name of the player. Click on the player's name to see a career progression of their ratings. Note that each player is only listed once, with their career peak rating.

Rating is the average rating for each player during their peak 1-year period. In order to qualify, a player must be "active" and have a rating in the world top 1000 on December 31st.

Peak rated years identifies the exact dates that the peak rating covers. Click on either the start date or the end date to see the sorted list of all players' ratings on that date. Note that all peak 1-year ranges will cover exact calendar years, rather than starting or ending in the middle of years. Thus the only ratings under consideration are December 31st ones. This is to be fair to the pre-1950 players who only had ratings calculated once per year.
