Since you all did so well predicting the future @traders, I made a new market on the new world champion's next challenger - https://manifold.markets/dlin007/which-chess-players-will-qualify-fo

Average game length of the first half of the match is less than the second half

@dlin007 by time or number of moves?

@R2D2sm5g number of moves. will resolve later today when i can double check

bought Ṁ180 Average accuracy of ... NO

i (kinda) feel bad taking all of your mana...was this a math or comprehension issue? ( @Weezing ?)

the lichess graph is pretty clear

@dlin007 I dont remember betting on it so maybe a missclick, but i only bet 15, so its fine. Thanks for asking though.

@Weezing i found it at like 99% so i assume @kirilenkonik_ hastily bet on YES and then others just kinda followed him? If it was genuinely confusing i might N/A it

@dlin007 yea most likely. I usually N/A in these cases if it is a clear mistake and reimburse those who bet correctly of there is not too many of them.

@dlin007 but ofc nobody could say anything i you resolve it normally

@Weezing yeah, i'll wait a bit and see what the other traders say

my flight just landed and like...wtf happened here

@dlin007 Games 1, 8, 13

i'm going to be afk for the rest of the match, so i'll only resolve the pending options afterwards

1.d4 is the most commonly played first move

bought Ṁ15 1.d4 is the most com... YES

@dlin007 How does this resolve if there is a tie for the most common move?

@Weezing if my English is correct, everything resolves NO

@dlin007 There was a long fight about this on one of @strutheo's Olympic markets.

@TimothyJohnson5c16 @dlin007 both options are possible, but someone needs to decide it for this market. So I am assuming tie means NO.

@TimothyJohnson5c16 ha...yikes. My intention was that one opening move would be played more than any other, and if there was a tie, that didn't happen
