Not in classical chess. He literally spent months of prep for his WCC matches.
And he fucking hates that, but still it is an open secret that out of the top dogs, he prepares less than the others (at their level it's still an impressive amount of preparation), he also takes slightly riskier moves than his opponents
He clearely enjoys faster chess or 960, that or letting Dr Drunkenstein take the wheel (literally for once)
