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 explosive start has propelled him to a 51.5% implied probability as the trader-favored winner of the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament, currently leading with 3.5/5 points after five rounds of the double round-robin in Cyprus. His Round 4 upset victory over pre-event favorite Fabiano Caruana—despite the American's higher 2793 classical rating—created clear separation, building on prior wins against Praggnanandhaa R (via piece sacrifice) and Andrey Esipenko. Caruana remains a strong 29.5% contender at 2.5 points, anchored by his Round 1 defeat of top-rated Hikaru Nakamura (2810 rating). Giri and Praggnanandhaa trail at 2 points each (6.3% and 6.5% odds), underscoring the mid-pack volatility with nine rounds left in the World Championship qualifier.
