Like someone flipping the chessboard off the table after being checkmated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petulant

(Other definitions for petulant that I've seen before include "Fractious, pouty" , "peevish impatience" , "Childishly sulky or bad-tempered" , "Querulous and demanding" , "Peevish, irritable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
