He's been playing exceptionally well!
Resolves YES if Rozman gets a GM norm out of the tournament, and NO if he does not.
Norms are high-level performance benchmarks in tournaments that are part of the requirements to achieve the GM title. Each norm typically requires the player to perform at a GM level over a series of games against other titled players.
If there is a dispute, I will resolve based on FIDE certification of the norm, but in the vast majority of cases I will resolve this market as soon as it is clear one way or another.
If anyone wants to bet on his last game: https://manifold.markets/Weezing/will-gothamchess-levy-rozman-win-hi
I'll get mods to re-resolve if that's the case, but every source I've seen agrees that he needed at least a draw here to get the norm.
I guess you're right there's very low likelihood outcomes around a player getting eliminated, but that seems unlikely enough to be worth just resolving now.
Nope, if Levy wins tomorrow he gets a 2575 performance rating, he needs 2600+
If he tied today, and won tomorrow, he would get 2617
Round 8: Suarez Uriel Adrian vs Rozman Levy - Closed A - Chess.com.
Levy has a slight edge and a huge time advantage in a complicated middlegame.
As I understand it, Levy has 2 games remaining against 2nd and 3rd place, and needs to draw 1, win 1 for the norm:
2nd and 3rd place right now are IM Julio Suarez Gomez (2477) and FM Dani Tabuenca Mendataurigoitia (2355). Stiff competition but definitely doable! Next game at 11 AM EDT in 1 hour.
I think Levy will be kicking himself in the recap video that he couldn't figure out how to break through, but a draw is still okay for him.
