Até um dos maiores jogadores da história do xadrez tem seus momentos de irritação. Foi o que aconteceu com o norueguês Magnus Carlsen, número 1 do mundo, ao ser derrotado pelo fenômeno indiano Gukesh Dommaraju, de 19 anos. Um vídeo mostrando o fim da partida pela sexta rodada do torneio Norway Chess (na Noruega), no último domingo, viralizou por conta de uma reação exasperada do jogador de 34 anos.

Atual campeão mundial, Gukesh encarava Carlsen pela segunda vez no torneio, após perder na primeira rodada. Em performance de resistência e utilizando bem o tempo, o indiano “virou” para cima do norueguês e arrancou um cavalo de Carlsen numa das jogadas decisivas. Magnus reagiu espontaneamente com irritação e um soco na mesa. Assista:
Logo após a explosão, Carlsen aperta a mão de Gukesh, se desculpa pelo ocorrido e deixa escapar um “meu deus”. O jogador indiano parece não acreditar e se levanta enquanto tenta entender o feito. Foi sua primeira vitória em xadrez clássico sobre o norueguês. Carlsen ainda o cumprimenta brevemente antes de deixar a sala de competições.
— Não havia muita coisa que eu pudesse fazer. O jogo estava perdido, então estava tentando fazer movimentos que confundiriam ele. Por sorte, ele se enrolou com o tempo. Em 99 de 100 tentativas, eu teria perdido — disse Gukesh após a partida.

Em entrevista ao site Chess.com, ele minimizou o soco na mesa do rival:
— Já soquei muitas mesas na minha carreira.
Gukesh se sagrou campeão mundial aos 18 anos, no fim do ano passado, em Singapura. Ele destronou o chinês Ding Liren na final. De quebra, se tornou o campeão do mundo mais jovem desde Garry Kasparov, campeão com 22 anos em 1985.

Cinco vezes campeão mundial em xadrez clássico, Carlsen abriu mão de defender o título em 2023, alegando falta de motivação. Gukesh é um dos novos nomes que têm aproveitado o espaço.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
