Magnus Carlsen, the defending World Blitz Champion, slammed the table after losing to Indian Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi in the ninth round of the championship in Doha. Carlsen lost on time after a complex game where Erigaisi gained a significant advantage. This incident follows a similar table slam by Carlsen earlier this year. Erigaisi's victory, achieved with black pieces, places him tied for first place.
