Will Hans Niemann finish top 3 in the U.S. Chess Championship?
Hans Niemann was recently embroiled in scandal when Magnus Carlsen accused him of cheating after his loss to Niemann in the Sinquefield Cup tournament. This accusation has lead to increased scrutiny into Niemann's past chess tournaments, and sparked debate about how to prevent cheating in chess. Many chess enthusiasts will be watching Niemann closely as he plays in the upcoming U.S. Chess Championship, which begins on October 4, 2022. This market will resolve to "Yes" if American chess grandmaster Hans Niemann finishes in one of the top 3 places in the 2022 U.S. Chess Championship. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If it can be definitively determined at any point that Hans Niemann will not finish in one of the top 3 places in the tournament based on its rules, this market may immediately resolve to "No". If for any reason the tournament is cancelled or rescheduled to a date after October 27, 2022, this market will resolve 50-50. The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website for the U.S. Championship (https://www.uschesschamps.com/2022-us-championships/pairings-results), however other credible sources may be used.
