Magnus effect

Performance anxiety arising while holding a winning position against #1 chess player Magnus Carlsen, often leading to throwing the game despite having had a winning position.

He was 2 pawns up and still managed to lose. The Magnus effect is real.
I hide the opponent's name so I don't get the Magnus effect.
When playing the tournament, focus on the pieces, not the player. Dont let the Magnus effet get ya
