This market will resolve to the player that wins the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament scheduled for March 29 - April 16, 2026. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed player to win the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament per the rules of the FIDE, the corresponding market will resolve to “No”. If the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament is cancelled, or postponed after April 30, 2026, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source will be official information from FIDE; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Javokhir Sindarov's dominant 3.5/4 score after four rounds of the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament in Cyprus has propelled his trader consensus to 50.5%, fueled by key wins over Fabiano Caruana in round four and Praggnanandhaa R earlier, showcasing his aggressive style and preparation against elite opposition in the double round-robin format. Caruana holds second at 30.5% despite the setback, bolstered by his round-one victory over Hikaru Nakamura and status as 2024 FIDE Circuit winner with top classical ratings. Trailing contenders like Nakamura (5.5%), Anish Giri (5.3%), and Praggnanandhaa (6.5%) reflect their draws and losses amid Sindarov's surge, while lower probabilities for Wei Yi, Matthias Bluebaum, and Andrey Esipenko align with modest starts from their World Cup qualifier paths. With 10 rounds remaining, momentum favors the 20-year-old Uzbek prodigy.
