21.05: This is a good one!
Carlsen's father isn't ruling out that Magnus' playing "Trumpowsky" is a practical joke. "He's been in a good mood lately #CarlsenKarjakin

7.43: Is this a response to other predictions?
Media have approached me asking for #CarlsenKarjakin chances. I didn't respond, but after a good thought I now give Karjakin approx. 36.8%.

Apropos: in the interesting comments to our predictions, views, opinions Peter B offers some numbers: "The rating difference of 81 means Karjakin has a 39% chance of winning per game. Doesn't sound too bad, until you account for draws. If 50% are drawn, then it's 50% draw, 36% Carlsen win, 14% Karjakin win, on every game. That translates to Carlsen having a 90% probability of winning a 12 game match."
7.26: The App to follow the games live apparently can still be improved.
Installed WC app and a shocker on the 1st screen!

"Chempionship"? Seriously?? #CarlsenKarjakin #WorldChess2016 @theworldchess pic.twitter.com/emgcB7DaNL
By the way: the twitter hashtag for the World Championship is not #WCC2016 - fans of the World Comic Convention are too fond of that - but rather #CarlsenKarjakin.
7.21: The opening gala was illustrious but FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov was not in New York because the U.S. Department of Treasury did not yet lift its sanctions against him, which limits his travelling options. However, as the FIDE President writes on "Kirzan today" he joined the gala via Skype.
7.10: German chess journalist Stefan Löffler finally had an answer to a question of many chess fans: who will play with White in game 1?
@MagnusCarlsen to play White in games 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 at #CarlsenKarjakin
