When will Ding and Gukesh play? Is the date confirmed?
It starts on October 31 I think

New odds if Fabiano wins and Gukesh wins.
That's very interesting, thanks for posting that and to whoever created it.
Do you know if that is taking colours into consideration? That would be very important at this level and could change things completely. I guess it must be with those odds, there's only 30 points separating their live rating.
So adding Nakamura's bars together - Nakamura only has around a one in three chance of still being in it after his game against Gukesh if that's correct. That goes contrary to at least my intuitive feeling on it, like I would have thought Nakamura would probably be still in it after his final match, now I'm a lot less confident.
When you think about it Gukesh is perhaps a bit underrated due to to being so young and having rapidly increasing skill, likely his rating hasn't quite caught up with his true performance as he continually develops.
However there's probably something to be said for Nakamura's experience and his being on a positive streak, that would likely counterbalance Gukesh being underrated.
One in three - so there I was feeling like it was almost a sure thing, but trying to objectively think that it was more like 60% or so (that he would still be in it, not that he would win), hits hard if his chances are really only 33%.
The game probability estimation takes into consideration who is white.

But, I don't know how accurate the predictor is, especially in a tournament like this, and games where people must be playing for a win, and like you say Gukesh is player above his rating level.
Hikaru had to win against Gukesh in order to stay in it. So the probability is just the probability he wins the game. The probabilities that formula gives for the Hikaru Gukesh game are about:
Hikaru wins: 0.322
Draws: 0.551
Loses: 0.128
