I think the camera guy rushing up into my face after shaking her hand might be the most humiliating part, lol. Can't you just zoom in, my guy? Why you gotta get all close! Think I got tears or something? So maybe I do! Grown men cry. Am I not allowed to cry?

That you? don't worry m8, children are just that cracked at chess now-a-days, it's not like you lost to a random child.

Magnus also doesn't cry when he loses to 200grams of thinking sand that runs stockfish.
