Magnus Carlsen Withdraws From World Rapid and Blitz Championships Over FIDE's Jeans Dress Code
Dec 28, 2024, 11:21 PM
Magnus Carlsen, the world's top-ranked chess player, has withdrawn from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York after a dispute over the tournament's dress code. Carlsen was disqualified from the World Rapid Championship for wearing jeans, which violated the International Chess Federation's (FIDE) rules. Despite being fined $200 and given the opportunity to change his attire, Carlsen refused, citing it as a 'matter of principle.' He also withdrew from the subsequent World Blitz Championship, expressing frustration with FIDE's enforcement of dress codes and their stance on Freestyle Chess. FIDE defended its decision, stating that the dress code, which includes a $200 fine for violations, is designed to ensure professionalism and fairness, and is communicated to all participants in advance.
