For those who don't follow chess closely
Ding won the world championship a while ago, and hasn't been in great form recently

Gukesh has been crushing it -- including recently at Chess Olympiad which India won in dominant fashion

Betting sites have Gukesh between 3-1 and 8-1 favorite...

Basically most people think Gukesh can't lose, and Ding can't win.

However -- both are top 2700+ ELO players. Ding has slide to #23 in the world (to Gukesh's #5) but that's still only a 50 point difference.

Also as the defending champion Ding wins if the match ends in a tie.

Hence the market is if Gukesh can win. Ding needs only a tied match to hold on to his championship.

Gukesh is also still a teenager. If he wins, he'd be the youngest champion ever, beating Gary Kasparov's record (age 20 / 21 I think). Maybe the nerves will get to him, especially if Ding turns out to be tougher than he expects...

We will post updates and more information here, and make this a Premium market.

Let us know if you want to see more markets on individual games, margin of victory, etc...

Possible clarification from creator (AI generated):

• Tiebreaks will count - Gukesh can win by winning the tiebreaks even if classical portion is tied

• If match ends in a tie for any other reason (e.g. cancellation), Ding remains champion and market resolves NO
