Magnus is in uncharted territory here. We won't really know the answer to this question for quite some time.

Forgive me if the answer is obvious (I don't follow chess), but what is uncharted about it?

Reading other comments like this one - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47031715 - it seems like there isn't enough data for there to be typical expectations, but that it isn't uncharted?
