You may be right. But not this year- I think his chances against Carlsen are extremely thin.

To be honest just glad Karjakin didn't complete comeback. A Caruana versus Carlsen match should have much more interesting games.
To be fair I have never seen Carlsen play an interesting game at the highest level. Its the boring grind out endgame wins. However they are wins and thats all that counts. But lets be honest and accept that Carlsen plays the most boring chess on the planet.
Where is Carlsen's immortal, a game of such intricate beauty that will be remembered for decades to come. Oh wait I forgot, the internet era players don't to immortal games anymore.

I can mention quite a few brilliant games Carlsen played, picking one as best is a matter of taste.
- His win against Wesley So at Sinquefield Cup 2015- one of the most brilliant positional squeezes ever.
- His win against Boris Gelfand at Tal Memorial 2011- a crazy game where it's imposssible to decide which side will checkmate first.
- His win against Hikaru at London Chess Classic 2015- a textbook example of the bishop pair power for the ages to come.
- His win against Levon Aronian at Tata Steel 2015- pure perfection from start to end.
If you don't like them, then... well, something must be very wrong with your chess understanding.
Obviously wont argue with an IM on brlliancies, but I do maintain that Carlsen and exciting games are a rarity. He games are usually boring and the grindout endgame type.

That's precisely why he's so hard to best. He can attack as well as anyone when the time is right. But when an all out attack is unsound, he'll grind you down into dust. His positional understanding and endgame technique are flawless.

I agree that most of his games are boring grinds.
But there was that great world championship game against Anand where it looked like Anand had a crushing attack and Carlsen defended brilliantly. Then Anand pushed it too far, missed something, and then Carlsen turned the tables and won the game and the title.
That one was very exciting and in no way a boring grind.

@JayeshSinhaChess did you watch the PRO chess league? He played some very interesting games, see e.g. Carlsen-Ehlvest.
If you give Carlsen a risk-free attack, he will smash you tactically. However, as he Said during streaming, he often plays it safe as (this he didn’t explicitly say) his superior positional understanding and endgame technique will let him win even simple positions against non-Super GM opposition.

Congratulations to Fabiano Caruana on winning the right to play Magnus for the WCC. After losing round 12 and slipping out of first place, he came back to win his final two games to clinch it. A great display of nerves and character by Karjakin (great comeback), Mamedyarov (my pre-tournament pick), and, of course, Caruana. Ding made a strong showing, and every round was hard-fought, with some real classics produced. Tremendous chess and a great win by Fabi.
