  • Update 2024-18-12 (PST): - "Losing to someone who has been world champion before" refers to losing the world championship title to a person who has previously been world champion (AI summary of creator comment)

  • All "lose to" or "be defeated by" etc refer to the competition for the championship itself. Similarly, Defend refers to defending the championship. Also note that unless otherwise specified, statements such as "will defend his title 3 times" refer to his current holding of the title. For example, say he defends well in 2025 and 2026, then loses in 2027, then wins it again in 2028, then defends it again for the 3rd time in 2029. That would NOT count as defending 3 times. That claim would have been NO as soon as he didn't successfully defend it 3 times in a row from now.

  • Similarly "lose the championship title to someone who..." refers to THIS instance of him being champion.

  • Update 2025-12-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Champion Duration: Gukesh D will hold the world championship title for approximately 1 year, analogous to having a one-year job or anniversary.

    • Loss Condition: He will lose the title the next time he's challenged within the annual candidates tournament world championship challenge system.

@Ernie I assume this means one full calendar year i.e Jan 1st to Dec 31st, but it's ambiguous. It could also mean 365 consecutive days (guaranteed) or total number of years in which he was WC (which is guaranteed to be at least 3)

@dlin007 i mean as if he had a job for 1 year or had a 1 year anniversary with a partner. i.e. he loses the next time he's challenged within the annual candidates tournament world championship challenge system.

@Ernie i see. so like he loses the WC on the next cycle a la Smyslov or Tal?

@Ernie I think you left out a word here? Assuming this means "Every challenger will be Indian..."

>Will be beaten by someone who has been world champion before

What does this mean? Does it mean "lose a rated, classical chess game to someone who ..." or "lose the world championship to someone who..."?

@Scipio11 will clarify, thanks. In general, I believe in this market that "losing to ..." refers to "losing the title to a person who ..."

"Will have won by his opponent resigning or quitting or other irregular outing at least one game" resolves True -- e.g., the last game was won by Ding resigning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_2024
