Background
The 2026 World Chess Championship will feature Gukesh D, who qualified by winning the 2024 Candidates Tournament. He will face the winner of the 2026 Candidates Tournament.

Update 2026-04-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): "Any game" refers only to Classical games, not tiebreaks, unless tiebreaks are explicitly specified in the option.
Update 2026-04-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the option 'Will Magnus Carlsen provide official commentary for at least one game?', Carlsen must stay on any stream for at least 45 minutes to count as commentary (a brief cameo is not sufficient).
1,000@Weezing Thank you. Just added a clarification saying >= 45 minutes on any stream. That seemed reasonable, instead of just a cameo for a few minutes, which he more likely might
