What will white (Manifold) play in move 2?
Check the game here: https://lichess.org/GF9YULQP
The game so far: 1.e4 e5
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).

The moves "Resign1", "Resign2", "Resign3" are legal moves.
Invalid moves or duplicate moves will be removed from consideration.

Well, seems like some of you underestimated Bc4.
Please help manifold choose a next move: https://manifold.markets/harfe/manifold-plays-chess-3-move-3-what
Hey @Fion and @MartinRandall I had to defend our conditional all by myself (not huge capital here). Glad it worked, hopefully next time there’s more supportive team play.
@deagol alas, I only bet for Bc4 because I thought it would beat Ke2, so thank you for showing me what is possible. I'll pay more attention next time.
Please continue predicting on the moves Nf3 and Bc4 here:

Anyone worked out a formula for the probability of a move getting selected in terms of its last 4h avg probability p here? I feel I have a rough intuition but got lost in the weeds trying to model as a 2-3 trial multinomial, then realized must be a hypergeometric (trials are without replacement), then a non-central hypergeometric, so finally gave up on the precise derivation. I must be overcomplicating it, any thoughts?
@deagol I think the formula will be quite complicated, since it depends on probabilities of all other moves. If there is one big move (like here), the "smaller" moves have a better chance, by comparison.
