This was just the beginning, in the halls he started screaming, punching walls, then he went into bathroom kicking the faucet destroying the plumbing, throwing his own faeces everywhere...after that it escalated he started tackling people throwing them around like ragdolls all the while babbling profanities in Russian. He then threw himself through a window in rage, he was then subdued by police later running around the city naked trying to attack every passerby. Now he is in mental ward with straight jacket he's still screaming 'Magnus! Magnus!' though heavily sedated.

Alternative title: NEPO STABS OPPONENT IN THE NECK AFTER LOSING THIS GAME

[Mr.Not_Sure]

Looking at the title, I expected blood, fight and heavy injuries.

[JakeLondonRivers]

A bit exaggerated but I feel like pushing over your opponents pieces like that is actually super distasteful

[pipspiper]

Wow! I thought Nepo had thrown the pieces to his opponent's face! This is how to sell products, put on a bombastic title.

Guys this was a long time ago 2 years or more, he is playing against GM Fier (Brazilian GM rated 2550+), aka GM no fear, pls don't hate on Nepo, this was a rapid/blitz game, he can tilte just like us.

The title had this who thing built up in my head…I thought “Man, he’s going to toss those pieces across the room, or wipe the board with his arm.”

Nah. He just tickled the pieces 2 inches forward.

The opponent is a brazilian GM: Alexandr Fier.

He did not throw his opponent's pieces, he pushed them toward him to make it easier for him to pick up and put back in place. Gentlemen do not throw tantrums... clickbait!

[quasar]

I know it's an old clip because it's been a while since we play in a close table like that😔

[CalmlyPanic]

That was crazy the way he decapitated 4 people at once with a lightsaber.

[Amelia-cbhj]

I find it interesting how his opponent didn’t put Ian’s pieces back after he left. In the blitz tournament Magnus put them back for Ian after he did the same thing.

[vickmackey]

Wait, that's how they express rage in chess? By tipping over their captured pieces? Haha, that's adorable. 🤭🧸

[ChessNoir]

he was just thinking back and was like, Damn I coulda been world champion!

[jeffghant]

I saw one where Magnus just got up and left. No handshake, no goodbye.

[JohnnyFreitasM]

Alexandr showed "No Fear" at all

[usibistro]

Most aggressive resignation of all time

[blibdox]

I was waiting in anticipation for something, but I never expected that😂😂 “pushes pieces gently closer to opponent”

[niku]

As he was leaving, Nepo hissed : "I don't care that you broke your elbow"
