Five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen withdrew from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championship in New York after being fined $200 and disqualified for violating FIDE's dress code by wearing jeans. The incident occurred on Wall Street and led to widespread discussions about FIDE's dress code policies. FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich announced a relaxation of the dress code, allowing "elegant minor deviations" such as appropriate jeans that match a jacket. As a result, Carlsen returned to the tournament to compete in the World Blitz Championship, vowing to play in jeans.
