Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen lost to India's Arjun Erigaisi in a tense FIDE World Blitz Championship match in Doha. Carlsen, under severe time pressure, became visibly frustrated, slamming the table after his queen fell off during a hurried move. This reaction sparked divided online commentary, with some criticizing it as unsporting and others defending it as a human response to elite blitz chess pressure. Erigaisi also secured a win against Nodirbek Abdusattorov.
