Will Magnus Carlsen apologize to Hans Niemann in 2025?

This polymarket will resolve to "Yes" if Magnus Carlsen publicly apologizes to Hans Niemann by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No". To qualify for a "Yes" resolution: Magnus Carlsen must publicly apologize, mention Hans Niemann by name, and clearly express regret for the backlash or consequences Niemann faced related to the 2022 cheating controversy. The apology must be made before December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET and be publicly accessible. Statements that are vague, do not name Niemann, or express only general regret will not qualify as "Yes" for this market. The primary resolution source will be official statements from Magnus Carlsen or his representatives. A consensus of credible reporting from reputable chess or news outlets may also be used.
