Sorry but, I don't think Carlsen can even beat a decent chess engine on a smartphone nowadays. Humans beating computers is an impossibility for many years now.

He may only win if computer starts with a serious handicap.

Carlsen would still beat Stockfish on an iPad. Stockfish 8 on a server farm is 3294 to Carlsen's 2838. But on a circa 2014 1GHz iPad, it's about 2500.

This is a hilarious anti-computer game, Rybka-Nakamura. It's 270 moves but it plays like Tetris or PacMan.
