Magnus Carlsen, the world chess champion, was disqualified from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York after refusing to comply with the tournament's dress code by wearing jeans. Initially fined $200 for the violation, Carlsen was subsequently barred from participating in Round 9 of the event. The Chief Arbiter, Alex Holowzsak, confirmed that Carlsen would not be paired for the round due to his non-compliance.

Carlsen, who had a score of 5/8 before his disqualification, expressed his frustration with the governing body FIDE, indicating a broader discontent with the organization.
