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 average probability in the last 4 hour of the conditional markets will be measured. The move with higher average probability will be chosen.

@AliceFlowers you can sell it by going to the [Your Trades] tab

@AliceFlowers Regarding the merits of each move, all three (Rb7, Rg7, Rh7) are equally good leading at worst (if white doesn’t allow a blunder later) to a mate in 10 moves (including this one) or better if black doesn’t play perfect. White isn’t really threatening the g or h pawns, just getting the rook far from black’s king. Black’s g4 advance and g3 fork are harmless given white’s f pawn will capture it.

Edit: white’s focus will be to promote the a pawn for a queen and an easy mate in a few moves, and black can’t do anything to prevent that.

Other than that, just be careful about betting so high here as anyone with big bucks could bet on a different move and force it to win in the next step, stealing all your M$330, especially if you’re a newbie. Good luck! :)
