Magnus Carlsen is trending after a moment from a recent tournament caught everyone’s attention.
Before their match, his opponent Alua Nurman asked for a selfie, and Carlsen agreed. But just moments later, he called an arbiter, who then took her phone away — following the strict rule that devices aren’t allowed during play.
The video quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions. Some people praised it as professionalism and respect for the rules, while others felt the timing made it seem a bit harsh.
