🏅 Top traders

Well done, @rayman2000, @BURNTramenNoOdLeS and @archvenison for finishing #1, #2 and #3 overall in these Prop Bets. Congratulations!

@Ram_N this was very fun!

@BURNTramenNoOdLeS yes, Caruana and Nakamura will qualify.

We will use this list for all ratings related markets: https://ratings.fide.com/top_lists.phtml?list=open

@Ram_N So what's the difference between the two markets about a player under 2700 rating being in the finals?

@DanielTilkin The second market was created by another user. They are the same as far as I can see, unless I'm missing something

2 Indian players can’t meet in round 7 because two remaining ones are on opposite sides of the bracket

And two Russian players can't meet in round 7 because all three of them that remain are in the same quarter of the bracket! The duality of man.

Harikrishna is a Czech player, then?

@marvingardens While Hari does reside in Prague/Czech, his FIDE country affiliation is India. For this market, we will use each player's FIDE country affiliation. Levon is, therefore, a US player.

@Ram_N

"27%

At least one of the three Indian players (Gukesh, Arjun, Pragg) will reach the Final of the FIDE World Cup?"

All: I've added a few markets for Round 3

@Ram_N All of the questions which say "reach the Quarter-finals (Round 5)" have a problem. The quarterfinals are round 6, not round 5. There's 8 rounds total. The structure is the same as last time, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_World_Cup_2023#Rounds_5%E2%80%938.

@DanielTilkin Thank you for catching that, Daniel. My bad. I've edited it to say Round 6. Just to be super clear, when I say quarter-finals, I mean that 8 players are left, and 4 will be eliminated at the end of the QF round.

Thank you again.

Meowdy! This market has juicy props on Indian talent and surprise runs, plus country clashes. I’ll scratch my whiskers and revisit with deeper data tonight to sharpen my takes! :3

@MiaCat so do you actually revisit markets when you say stuff like this?
