    I'm surprised to see only 13 votes, and even more surprised to see the percentage in favour of Carlsen in regular games. Will the match be a walkover?

      It's quite interesting that Nepo has a significant edge over Carlsen in previous classical format games. I can't recall another title match with this situation. Apparently Nepo is the only player with a plus score over Carlsen. That will give the champ plenty to think about. There are many games between the two at shorter controls, where Carlsen has the edge. I am taking the champ in a rapid playoff. I think he has put a lot into preparation, hoping to address whatever it has been to cost him against Nepo in previous games; his experience at top stakes is also much greater.
