Magnus Carlsen's table slam at the World Blitz Championships after a loss to Arjun Erigaisi has drawn criticism from some in the chess community, including Levon Aronian, who called it a 'tantrum' that distracts other players. The arbiter, Chris Bird, clarified that no damage occurred and Carlsen apologized, but Aronian maintained such behavior should not be normalized. The incident occurred during a time-pressure situation for Carlsen.
