“Magnus’ mustache? My only comment after seeing it — is that it looks hideous. He should not try and sport that. It’s not a good look.

He looks like a 1970s porn star. It looks terrible, just awful…”

Magnus Carlsen wore a new look at the Speed Chess Championship, where he won by defeating Alireza Firouzja 15-12 in the Final. Magnus’ moustache sparked a large amount of discussion and humorous posts on social media.
