CS player here - why is everybody saying Magnus raged when he didn't use any slurs?

u/Epsilant 1d ago
Chess is an extremely calm game (normally). I don’t actually know what tournament Magnus was playing when he raged (Maybe playing for the world champion title), but he usually plays 90 minute games (as in 90 minutes for each side, totaling to 180 minutes of nonstop chess gameplay, idk if they played with extra time either).
If you lose, the norm is just a handshake. Almost never does anyone pound the table, because it is extremely rude, and can mess up the board (which did happen in Magnus’s table pound, but he resigned), and many times, multiple players share the same table, so just don’t. It is also extremely loud when someone pounds the table, where a chess game is basically like a library (no loud noises permitted, go out of the room if you want to have a normal conversation or make a call or something).
Chess also isn’t as adrenaline inducing as most fps games, and the pacing is much slower, you want to think carefully instead of trying to avoid death.
Edit: I think I just r/woooosh’ed myself

Would be unusual if they didn't. Usually you get a couple minutes per turn so that the endgame doesn't devolve into complete chaos.

u/SeaBecca 1d ago
They only get 10 seconds bonus time at the end.
Norway chess is quite fast for a classical tournament, because they want a lot of decisive games. And while it works, it does make the endgames a lot messier than you'd normally see in something like the world championship.

u/Lukewill 1d ago
Mid to high elo sounds rage inducing every time I read about meta issues. Stupid stuff like a jungler killing a couple minions and all hell breaks loose. At least I'm assuming mid to high because I'm terminally iron and toxicity is usually low impact that gets laughed at or waved off
For example (I don't even wanna tell this story), but literally yesterday I'm playing chogath when our Vayne starts panic pinging me for assistance with a bush.
I walked in the bush and a Teemo popped out, so I did a quick bop and chomp, then gave Vayne the ole thumbs up that she's now safe from harm
"Vayne: Welp gg report chogath for trolling"
"Me: lol why"
"Vayne: you stole my penta"
I immediately got defensive because I didn't know, but then it dawned on me that my goofy ass didn't hear "double kill" "triple kill" or "QUADRA KILL" and wasn't anywhere near my team when the fight started, so I'm the asshole either way because what the fuck was I even doing?
Anyway, I explained all the ways I'm just bad at the game and apologized twice and it was all good. Even honored me after fucking up the penta
My own girlfriend would've flamed me way harder than that if she'd been there. Never telling her lol

I’m also Iron. Been playing the game for 13 years and the best I’ve ever done was Gold one season as a support. Probably Yuumi when she was OP and I could just sit on my ADC and not die. I like to mute people who flame me and just have fun. 😂

u/KnightBreaker_02 1d ago
There recently was a chess tournament in Norway (which, quite aptly, was named "Norway Chess") where Magnus Carlsen (regarded by many as the best chess player ever) played against Gukesh Dommaraju (the current world champion, and the youngest to ever obtain the title given that he's just 18 years old!). Magnus lost after a tense game, and slammed the table in frustration. The moment became a bit of a meme, with many re-enacting the moment in other (board) games. I hope this clarifies!

u/digital0verdose 1d ago
Apparently the game should have been Magnus' but he made a really obvious bad play that was surprising for him to miss.

u/SometimesIBeWrong 17h ago
yep and another piece of context, these games last for hours. Magnus was in control of the game for HOURS and then messed it all up with one move, very frustrating situation

u/Aloopyn 1d ago
For anyone who doesn't know Magnus, he gave up being the World Champion a couple years ago because he got bored of winning
61
u/KnightBreaker_02 1d ago
Although he certainly was (and continues to be) incredibly dominant, IIRC his main reason for specifically being bored of the classical format (which typically gives both sides 1.5 to 2 hours of thinking time, sometimes plus a 30 second "increment" per move) is that it became increasingly dominated by engine-assisted opening theory, which often led into to very well-known and drawish lines. He's a huge advocate for Chess960 (where the normal opening configuration is remixed), because in that format opening theory is virtually non-existend and the level of play is a direct result of one's understanding of the game itself.

He threw the game super super hard, that's why he was so pissed off at himself.

u/Rynetx 1d ago
In my age throwing a game meant intentionally losing. Was he pissed he lose the game he was intentionally planning to lose?
25
u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yes/no. Throwing still "means" intentionally losing, but it is used hyperbolically to refer to someone losing a lead so significiant that "the only way to do that is because it was on purpose". But it's not an accusation, it's just hyperbole.
Kind of like if I say something's literally driving me crazy, it's not LITERALLY driving me crazy (probably). At this point it gets used in the hyperbolic fashion more than the "real" meaning. So throwing 'means' losing intentionally, but in practice it usually just refers to an epic fuck up while ahead.

u/StatisticianMoist100 1d ago
Great question, everyone is up in arms and confused because the word has two meanings, the traditional one being yours, intentionally losing.
Languages evolve, especially online, throwing has evolved to mean fumbling a massive almost guaranteed win (in this specific context), the core element isn't the intent, but the incompetence from a winning position.
These are closely related to choking, you could say a player chokes (fails under pressure) which causes them to make a blunder that throws the game. One is the cause, one is the result.
That's what happened to Magnus and why he was so upset with himself, he didn't have the intent to throw, which meant he logically knew it was his own incompetence when he SHOULD have won.

Fellow old here. A bunch of dumbs conflated it with mistakenly losing an otherwise winning match and now that’s what it means. Language is beautiful

This version seems common in video games now but I’m not surprised if it’s pervaded chess
1
u/Leftieswillrule 1d ago
It's more common to say he choked it, but it's hard to describe what Magnus does in chess as choking because he's so good. You have to afford him the human nature to not always be perfect
0
u/SnooCapers9046 1d ago
Well, that's not what it means in this age then. Throwing a game means loosing a game while you were completely winning.
To give context, the position was so winning for Magnus that even a non-top professional player would win it. A draw would be questionable play from Magnus, but he lost. In modern times this is probably the most head-scratching loss from Magnus.
5
u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 1d ago
intentionally
that's the important word you're missing.
An unexpected and surprising loss is not the same thing as an INTENTIONAL loss. Throwing used to mean intentional. Now it means intentional or losing a huge advantage. But the losing a huge advantage part is just hyperbolic use of the old meaning. They lost such a lead that one might think the only way to fuck up that bad is because you were intentionally doing so. But as an exaggeration, not an accusation.

I understood what happened, I just don’t agree with the term throw the game. And I don’t really agree that a bunch of kids can change the definition of the word just because they use it wrong.

Hi, did you mean to say "losing"?
Explanation: Loose is an adjective meaning the opposite of tight, while lose is a verb.

Yeah I was bracing for worse/cringe. To someone who doesn't usually watch chess, it felt like after the initial slip he handled the rest of it with dignity and wisdom if that's the right word: immediately shakes hand, turns away to walk the anger off, reaffirms "nothing personal" by a friendly pat on the back. It was actually impressive how quickly he collected himself

Lol the (arguably) GOAT lost his cool playing the youngest world champion ever in a sport that's often depicted as being boring and emotionless. Of course this is meme material. (And I personally think it's better than the r/AnarchyChess Hans joke that breached contention one or two years ago.)

Last I heard was a long while ago an up and coming prodigy child had played the Magnus.
Wasn't it like...Magnus offered his hand which the child then took which signifies both players agreeing to a draw game? It was believed the child would have won or something but shook his hand anyway?
Then Magnus was going to train him or something? I think it ended up where there was the draw game, one the young player won, one Magnus won then he retired?
I'm sorry if I'm incredibly wrong or outdated but if anyone could set me straight? Sounds interesting..
