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

The DC effect

When you have been in a high position so long (usually a senator in DC) that you forget what it's like to be a common citizen, and think you're better than those "peasants." Forgetting you once were one.
Senator John Jones just passed a law that harms farmers even though he was one!

It's the DC effect, do not re-elect him.

Kidney Bean Effect

A phenomenon where a person who is merely mildly annoyed is actually more dangerous and/or irritable than when they are extremely pissed off.
The Kidney Bean Effect is named for kidney beans, which must be cooked on high heat to make them safe to eat. Cooking them on low heat, on the other hand, makes them even more harmful for human consumption.
