Have anyone seen Magnus Carlsen laughing??
Sort:
I have seen lots of Magnus carlsen's tournament, it's now a habbit that he wins them but is there a problem with Magnus and his smile.Most of the time after winning a tournament he does not seems to be in a enjoyable mood,if he finishes as a runner up or in third position he is generally pissed and blames himself. Is he enjoying his game if yes then why there is not much excitement after achieving something grand?

I did a Google images search and, at first, every photo of him sitting at a board showed as serious look. Then I found some smiles. Here's one:

Does it matter? Can't expect him to be laughing his ass off every time a photo is taken. I am certain he has a passion for chess, he wouldn't be ranked number 1 otherwise, right?

I've seen him laugh and smile plenty of times, usually after he wins a game or a tournament.
You might also remember though, that you play chess for fun, but for him it's his career. This is not a time for laughing, it's his time for serious work.

There are not to much Fischer's videos available so can't tell about him
How often did you see Fischer laugh??
Maybe he finds the press anoying? It's pretty obvious from watching him that his not comfortable in these settings (most of the time). When I see him on Norwegian television he looks happy.

Why should a professional player be happy with 2nd place?
For any tournament, why would the top rated player be happy with 2nd place?
Also these moments on camera are immediately after games. After a lot of hard work and emotions. They players are mentally and emotionally exhausted.

The excitement that other teams or people of different sports shows is missing in this game.
He was smiling and laughing a lot during the 2 matches with Anand.
...or maybe you choose to forget it.

until chess is recognized as a sport, facial muscles will still have to remain quiet during play, look at how happy footballers are allowed to be when they score a goal! but when a chess player wins a piece he or she is not allowed to run around happily and jump on the corner flag.
