market for previous move:



For each response, the average probability in the last four hours before close is measured. With 75% probability, two moves will be randomly drawn, with weight proportional to those market probabilities. With 25% probabilities, three moves will be randomly drawn in the same way. Then for each of the two or three candidate moves, a conditional market is created.

The score of each move will be determined by the average probability in the last 4 hours. The move with higher score will be chosen (and the corresponding condditional market will resolve to the score one move later. The other market(s) will resolve N/A).

@harfe oops you forgot to exclude the invalid Be2

@harfe not proper notation, but declaring it valid.
If Manifold fixes their bug between now and close, this will still be valid and "Ba3+" will be invalid.

Jack boughtṀ5 N/A

@jack I know I said notation be damned, but at least @harfe should be able to discern what it is

@deagol declared invalid

It wont let me add the correct notation, thinking it’s the same. What do we do, bet on this or make something else like Ba3+ch, Be2a3+ or B-QR3+ or “the white king commands his queene’s bishop into the third house before his queene’s rook pawn, putting the black king in check” https://www.knightschessclub.org/the_history_of_notation.html

I say we bet on thus one, notation be damned

*this

@deagol I ran into the same issue. Weird. Previously even duplicate answers were allowed.

@harfe yes I also saw it was allowing duplicates (which was prevented earlier) so I guess they “fixed” that 😔

@deagol For Manifold Plays Chess 4 we could consider using Multi-choice markets with all legal moves as options instead of free response (this should be doable with automation).
