That is the chess world of the Fist Grand Slam.

The two giants of chess - one is the greatest champion of all time and the greatest player of all time - stand out in a game on the weekend, which not only caused its results, but also for post-match reactions.

The world's highest-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen lost for the first time in the classical (thinking, complex game) format to Gukesh Dommaraju, the current world champion, who was regarded as one of the smartest young stars in the game at the age of 19.

The game was part of the Norwegian Chess 2025 Championship, which was waving after Carlson lost the Cavaliers, resulting in a crazy endgame with only a few seconds left for each player.

With Gukesh in a clear winning position, Carlsen expressed frustration in a way related to most people who have ever played chess: There are fists on the table.

Carlsen then stood up and raised another related anger: "Oh my God" and an apology.

Although there is no Carlson's reaction, the game may not cause the same wave, but the losses do rise more and more Gukash's rise. But it also knows a bit about how Carlsen feels that he remains dominant at the age of 34.

In an interview after the game, Gukesh detailed his shock at winning the game, which seemed desperate to him.

"I can't do anything about it," he said. "It's obviously lost, so I just wanted to do the moves and luckily he started fighting."

"Of course 99 out of 100 times will lose," Gukash added.

Others in the chess community have provided more support for Gukash’s performance.

Gukash also reportedly told Chess.com that he could be related to Carlsen's reaction: "I also bumped a lot of tables in my career!"

Carlsen retains the title of FIDE as the highest-ranked player, which calculates ratings based on performances approved for the tournament. Carlsen is also a five-time world chess champion, winning the championship by winning the most promising tournament (Cansort Championship) and defeating the current world champion (or the current champion defeating the candidate’s winner).

Carlson refused to defend the title in 2022, with China's Ding Liren ranked first until he was defeated by Gukesh in 2024. Then, Gukesh became the youngest world champion in history.

This means a natural contrast between the two.

Carlson has previously praised the Indian phenomenon, and recently noted in the podcast Joe Rogan Experience that Gukesh “worked in his a--has been working on all the time”, but not as good as some of the shorter time formats that have been gained in common sex and prestige in recent years.

In addition to the embrace of shorter time formats, chess is thriving online, reach and content creators thrive, who analyze games in real time and provide a lot of reviews.

With Carlson so far still being the top star of the game, as with Goukesh, failures and losses and reactions sparked their own compilation of reactions.
