About this market

Context

This is the market on the 2021 FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship Open - a chess tournament held to determine the world champion in chess played under blitz time controls (3 minutes starting, plus 2 seconds per move / player). The tournament is scheduled to take place on December 29-30 2021 in Warsaw, Poland. This market will resolve to "Yes", if any of the official games (including tiebreaks) played at the 2021 FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship Open will start with a move 1. e3. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Please note, that out of the 2021 FIDE World Blitz & Rapid Championships, only the Blitz Open tournament games are taken into consideration for this market. If for any reason, the tournament is cancelled or rescheduled after January 6 2022, this market will resolve 50-50.

How trading works

Polymarket uses a central limit order book (CLOB) model — you can buy or sell shares of any outcome at the current market price, or place limit orders at your target price. All positions are settled in USDC when the market resolves.

Resolution

Markets resolve through UMA's Optimistic Oracle. After the market closes, a proposer submits a resolution, followed by a 2-hour dispute window. If no dispute is raised, the resolution is accepted. Disputed markets go to UMA token holder vote.
