Based on the odds, the 2020 Chess World Championship betting predictions indicate that the young Norwegian is the absolute shoo-in.

But now, based on statistics and forecasts he is the absolute winner of all these events. However, sooner or later a new champion must appear, that's how life works. When will Magnus' heyday end?
