Except Nakamura, of course. He would SPANK Carlsen in a match.
Karjakin- If Carlsen wants to beat me he needs to show the best play of his life

What do you call this? Arrogance? Over ambitiousness?
I call this MARKETING.

And then he says he has a "better" killer instinct, in that he only tries to win "when it's important?" Who is he to say what a person should try to win? There's not one objectively best lifestyle.
Anyway, it's not even true, Carlsen doesn't have to play the best in his life to beat Karjakin. He could probably even play sub-par (for his standards) and still win. At least Karjakin has the confidence. Maybe that'll help make this a match.
I got my money on Carlsen.
I put the odds at 4:1 for Magnus. And that's being kind.
karjaqkin needs a do a better job with trash talking
I'd say that Karjakin proved his words with yesterdays game. Carlsen had him in the jaws of death, but Sergey played so strong he found a way to draw. Magnus made a mistake somewhere and lost the edge. He didn't play his best and subsequently didn't win.

How do you win a chess game if you never attack? My chess understanding is liightyears away from what these masters are doing, but I think Magnus plays more interesting chess. Karjakin seems to be working on defence from move 0 and forward, even with white.
I dream. I dream that I beat carlsen the other night when he played anonymously here the other night.... I dream.......

I sincerely hope Carlson beats that arrogant Karjakin. I watched some interviews with Karjakin talking in Russian as well English and he didn't sound arrogant, so I am not happy with his pompous behavior. (I am also biased against Karjakin for other other reasons)
Oh well. When people brag and then happen to lose or otherwise proven wrong that's more satisfying to those who beat them.
Perhaps Carlsen said something bad about Karjakin before?
"I sincerely hope CarlsEn beats that arrogant Karjakin. I watched some interviews with Karjakin talking in Russian as well English and he didn't sound arrogant"
Haven't you just contradicted yourself here?

Not really. He's just saying that's in an interview Karjakin wasn't arrogant so it's a little shocking to see him acting arrogant now.
By the way, when did this arrogance occur anyway? I never caught wind of it. What did he say?
Sincerely, guys, this is a competion, have you ever heard someone, whatever the sport, tell he will try to loose the best possible way ?
Carlsen could not even pick up Karjakin's jock strap
just sayin'..
