Carlsen is a bit disrespecting Karjakin. He is playing some blitz with Naka just a few days before a match which means he is not preparing that seriously as Karjakin does. You would never see Sergey playing online chess just before any inportant tournament.
Why would Carlsen need a preparation? Mr. Kasparov already done this for him with the help of supercomputers. I mean supercomputer as a real super computer such as D-wave's quantum computers or unknown quantum computer who already solved all the chess positions in #518. So the odds of 1.13 quite high for Carlsen with this conditions. What if they play all the games in chess960 which is almost impossible to prepare/memorize openings. In this scenario, I think Sergey would better winning chances than Magnus. What do you think?
#12 Psychological warfare!
#13 I think Magnus would win in any case: remember that he doesn't memorize openings as others do, he prefers a quiet game where strategic and tactical knowledge is worth more. Chess960 would increase Magnus' chances instead

Well, If Karjakin taking steroids he can win with Carlsen - simple is that.
