Resovles based on the first such game that happens.

I won't collude with them to throw the game, but I might manipulate this market in other ways, like practicing beforehand, or finding an 1800 player who is really bad at Kung Fu Chess.

@IsaacKing For reference, in regular chess playing against someone with a rating difference of 400 would give you about 8% win rate
