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.

As a result, Carlsen returned to the tournament to compete in the World Blitz Championship, vowing to play in jeans.
