On May 26 Magnus Carlsen created an account on Chesscom with the username “MenuGarden”, with the goal of climbing to the top of the blitz standings and then deleting his account. Along the way he faced Brazilian GM Luis Paulo Supi who managed to beat the World Chess Champion by delivering a Queen sacrifice! That move shocked Carlsen and he exlaimed “Wow, that is dirty! That is awesome, really awesome! Wow!”
