This is a shocking because Carlsen realizes that he lost on time only at the last second, it seems like he was involved in some deep thought.

He was also a queen up by the way.

It's funny that Carlsen doesn't even give a handshake.

Actually the reason was that the playing room was dark, and he could not monitor the clock well. Quite a few players have complained about that, but it was not fixed before round 2.

... not much of a point to a handshake after an unfortunate time out like this, is there?

Most likely he was contemplating why his orange juice had so much pulp.

Losing on time in a won position—has happened to us all!

I love how Wesley So stayed quiet like a cat never giving Carlsen a hint about the time.
