Norway tournament - Magnus vs Wei Yi

I still can't believe what I just watched... Magnus Carlsen has lost again—this time to Wei Yi in the Armageddon tiebreak at Norway Chess 2025. After drawing their classical game, Magnus went into the Armageddon with the White pieces and a solid time advantage. Honestly, I thought he'd pull it off. But then… something just went wrong. He played too fast, made a careless mistake, and Wei Yi didn’t miss his chance. He pounced and took the win—his first ever victory over Carlsen in any format! What’s more surprising is how composed Magnus looked after this loss. Just a round earlier, he lost to Gukesh in classical, and that one clearly got under his skin—you could see the frustration on his face, slamming the table and all. But today, he seemed more... resigned? Like he's mentally somewhere else. And it's not the first time he's hinted that classical chess just doesn’t excite him anymore. It’s strange to see someone we all consider the greatest ever seem this vulnerable. Back-to-back losses? To two rising stars? It’s like we’re witnessing a real shift in the chess world. I have nothing but respect for Wei Yi—he played brilliantly—but I can’t help feeling a bit shaken seeing Magnus struggle like this. Is this the beginning of a new era in chess? Or just a rough patch? Let me know what you guys think. Is Carlsen stepping aside mentally? Or will he bounce back like he always does?

He’s won it all with nothing left to prove….cant blame him for feeling bored and not up for it anymore

Yup
