This market resolves to the 2 players who finish in the top TWO places in the final standings of the 2025 FIDE Grand Swiss.
This market is to predict the TWO players who will qualify -- finishing 1 and 2 in the Grand Swiss. (You can add your own answers as well.)

Round 7: ,Matthias Bluebaum (GER) is having the tournament of his life! He's a co-leader along with Nihal. Parham suffered his first loss today, against Nihal. And unfortunately, Arjun lost to Matthias. Pragg, Alireza, Hans and Vidit won today. Divya won. Vaishali won as well.
Gukesh suffered his third loss in a row.
After 7 rounds -- 2 people are on 5.5, with 7 GMs on 5. Four rounds to go.
@Ram_N Does this resolve to the top two in the final standing, or to the two players who get their tickets to the candidates? In other words, can this resolve to Gukesh or is he excluded because he can't play the candidates?
@JBSIyg2 Excellent question. To keep things simple, this market will resolve to the 2 Players who finish with the top 2 scores in this tournament. If Gukesh comes second, it will still be resolved to him. (I see your point, and have reworded the question title.)
Thank you again for catching these nuances.
@Ram_N The description still says "This market is to predict the TWO players who will qualify"
Although it's a moot point now, Gukesh won't qualify.
