How much would you pay to see a 4-way chess match, like in the banner, between Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura, and Ding?

11 of y'all @traders (including me) were very wrong

how tf are you going to write Ding off so easily???

I definitely think he's an underdog to defend, but not by so much that I would call the upcoming Candidates "effective also the World Championship"

@DanielTilkin up until the match you were wrong, then you were mostly correct :)
