When does a monster have to stay on field for its effect to resolve for example 'Zombie Master' needs to remain on the field but 'Chaos Sorcerer' does not is it purely rulings-based?

It is rulings-based. There are only a slim handful of monsters who must remain on the field for their effects to resolve.
- Some are more obvious. Dark Crusader's effect cannot resolve if he's no longer on the field, because he'd be unable to get the ATK gain.
- Zombie Master has a specific ruling. He must remain face-up on the field. Note that similar monsters like Summoner Monk, The Creator, and Lumina, do not follow the same ruling. Their effects will still resolve, even if they leave the field.
- Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress must too. If she is unable to change to defence position on resolution, nothing is destroyed. So if she leaves the field beforehand, then her effect cannot resolve.

Can you Fiendish chain chaos sourcerer so he can not remove a monster or he must be able to?
If a monster activates an effect, then Fiendish Chain can be chained to this. Fiendish Chain will resolve first, meaning the monster's effect will be negated when it tries to resolve. So if Chaos Sorcerer activates his Ignition Effect, Fiendish Chain can be used to negate it.
When chaos sourcerer is summoned can you fiendish chain it to negate it's effect or the turn player has priority to activate effect?
The turn player has Priority, so can activate Chaos Sorcerer's effect as chain link 1. Fiendish Chain can be chained to this. Fiendish Chain will resolve first, so Chaos Sorcerer's effect will be negated when it tries to resolve.
Can your Effect Veiler Chain to negate your opponent's monster's effect activation during their Main Phase in Yu-Gi-Oh?

What happens if you activate Compulsory Evacuation Device on your newly summoned monster right after your opponent activates Trap Hole?
Compulsory Evacuation Device will resolve first and return the target monster to hand. Trap Hole will then resolve without effect because its target has left the field.
Can you 'Bottomless Trap Hole' a 'Chaos Sorcerer' before he gets a chance to activate his effect?
No, because of Priority. Priority is the 'right' a turn player has to activate something first in most circumstances. The important thing to know is that summoning does not pass Priority so the turn player retains it when he summons a monster. So, the process goes like this, - Player A pays Chaos Sorcerer's cost and places him on the field. - Player A can negate the summon if he really wishes, with cards like Solemn Judgment. Player B can also try to negate it, if Player A does not. - The summon is now 'successful'. If it had a continuous effect, this is now active. - If anything would trigger from the summon, they activate here. - If nothing triggered, then the turn player still has Priority and can place an Ignition Effect of any monster, or a Spell Speed 2 card, at chain link 1. He can put Chaos Sorcerer's Ignition Effect here. - Only now can the opponent respond or chain. He can use Bottomless Trap Hole here. BTH will resolve first, destroying and removing Chaos Sorcerer from play. But this will not negate the Ignition Effect which will resolve as normal, removing the target from play.

If you 'Trap Hole' a monster whose effect activates when it is flip summoned is the effect still activated but the monster destroyed?
The effect activates first, and you are actually chaining Trap Hole to that trigger. Trap Hole will resolve first, but it will not stop the monster effect from resolving. Unless a card says it negates a monster's effect, then it is still able to resolve its affect when flip summoned.

Sorcerer of Dark Magic has a Quick Effect that can be chained to any spell speed 2 Trap card (meaning he can't stop a Counter Trap). So when Crush Card Virus is activated, he can chain his effect to it. His effect will resolve, negating the activation and effect, meaning Crush Card Virus does not resolve - nothing is destroyed.

Does a monster effect still resolve if Book of Moon chains to set it in Yu-Gi-Oh?
In general, once a monster effect activates, the only thing that will stop it is negation. Destroying it, banishing it or setting it, will not stop the resolution. Nor will taking control of it, which does not switch control of the 'effect' that's already on the chain. Now there are some effects which quite obviously need the activating monster to remain face-up on the field, such as ones that boost that monster's stats. These might fail to resolve in part or in full, if the monster is no longer face-up. There are a slim handful of effects that do not affect the activating monster but nonetheless require it to be face-up on the field for its effect to resolve. But in 99.9% of cases, it is not required.

Do flip effects have to work if tributed?
If the face-down monster is tributed, then no, any Flip Effects it has will not activate. Under normal conditions therefore, you should flip the monster first, allow the effect to activate/resolve, then tribute the monster for whatever. But you are out of luck if your face-down Flip Effect monster is tributed by the opponent using Soul Exchange, for example. Because it never 'Flips' (even though it goes to the graveyard face up) the effect will not activate.
