The outcome is clearly defined by official results from the International Chess Federation (FIDE) regarding the 2026 World Chess Championship. Holders should note the early resolution provision, which allows a resolution to No before the event finishes if a player is definitively eliminated or ruled out under FIDE regulations. Additionally, if the championship is postponed beyond June 30, 2027, or cancelled, the market specifies a resolution to Other rather than waiting indefinitely or voiding.
