I'm not sure about this. Here's an article from 2005 about Kasparov's retirement, but I think he still plays in tournaments sometimes. I also don't know if Carlsen might declare his retirement, then come back - he gave up his title while apparently still being the best player in the world.
To others: Does anyone in the market object either way?
@BoltonBailey Kasparov does occasionally receive invites to exhibition tournaments, but they are not FIDE-rated. You can see on his official FIDE profile that he's had "No Games" (in classical chess) every month since April 2005.
@BoltonBailey I would support "declares his retirement AND ceases to have an active rating" as a way to be able to resolve the market much earlier with only a small change, but not sure if any YES holders would object.
To be clear, you're referring to the live rating on 2700chess.com, or to the monthly published FIDE rating list?
