YES

Context: There's been some controversy over the last couple of weeks with Hans Niemann admitting to previously cheating online. Additional allegations have been made that he has cheated more and possibly even over the board.


This morning Magnus resigned against Hans after the first move in this $500,000 tournament. No one really knows why. Possibly in protest of having to play against a cheater, but this seems odd if he is willing to play in the same event.

This market resolves yes if Magnus makes a statement that gives a clear reason why he resigned. It could be something as simple as a tweet saying, "I don't want to play vs cheaters" or something more complex such as Magnus coming forward with insider info such as evidence that Hans cheated against him.

Betting yes as although part of me could see him just remaining silent and letting his actions speak, I feel like this bodes incredibly badly for the future of chess without further explanation.
