One prediction market prices this story:

  • Aleksandra Goryachkina — the market puts it at 72%, closing 7 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Aleksandra Goryachkina ranks in the top five on the November 2026 FIDE Top Women Players Standard Rating List. It resolves to No if she does not reach that position on that specific list. Readers often mistake the deadline, assuming any rating update counts instead of only the official November 2026 publication.
