Norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, the world's No. 1-ranked player, suffered a major defeat on Sunday to current world champion Gukesh Dommaraju.
After Dommaraju made his final move, Carlsen, 34, was seen slamming his fist onto the table and standing up out of his seat in frustration before shaking hands with the 19-year-old grandmaster from India. The video of Carlsen's loss in the classic chess match at round six of Norway Chess, an annual international chess tournament, quickly spread on social and sparked a debate about sportsmanship online.
It was a shocking loss for Carlsen and a "lucky day" for Dommaraju, the younger chess grandmaster told a reporter with Norwegian broadcaster TV2.
