  • Magnus Carlsen was disqualified from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships for flouting the dress code of the competition by wearing jeans and not changing it when requested.

Magnus Carlsen, the world's top-ranked chess player, was disqualified from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan, for wearing jeans, which violated the event's dress code.

The event continued without him, highlighting the ongoing debate about tradition versus modernity in chess.
