Resolves YES if Magnus Carlsen loses his next tournament chess game against Hans Niemann, after the September 19 game in the Julius Baer Generation Cup in which he resigned after his first move. Resolves NO if he wins or draws. Resolves N/A if no such game occurs by the end of 2023.
Background
https://worldchess.com/news/all/carlsen-chose-drama-against-niemann-resigned-after-move-2/
It comes without saying that after Carlsen’s withdrawal from the Sinquefield Cup 2022, and the accusations of Niemann cheating, the chess world was glued to their screens for their rematch at the Julius Baer Generation Cup. But the Norwegian GM didn’t hold the anticipation for long. He resigned with black after move 2 (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4) and shook the chess world one more time!
(To be clear, if Carlsen resigns, whether after 1 move or 100, that counts as a loss for this question.)

@EliasSchmied Hmm, I would lean towards YES if the chess tournament counts it as a loss. It seems pretty equivalent to resigning after one move.
People here don't know how rare decisive results are in top-level chess, I guess? Carlsen had a 53-game unbeaten streak before losing to Niemann in the Sinquefield cup. He's literally the GOAT.
On r/chess they speculated that Magnus will from now on avoid entering a tournament that has Neimann and that the only reason he played this one was because he was already committed. Also would be a good market.
@ahalekelly That's the same game I mentioned in the market description. I'm going to edit it to make it clearer.
