World number one Magnus Carlsen displayed frustration during the FIDE World Blitz Championship 2025 in Doha, hitting the table after a loss to India's Arjun Erigaisi. This incident, which went viral, is not the first time Carlsen has shown such emotion after a defeat, having previously reacted similarly to a loss against D Gukesh at the Norway Chess tournament. These moments underscore the intense nature of top-level blitz chess.
