  • Top ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen has left the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships after refusing to change out of the jeans he wore to the competition, the International Chess Federation said.

Norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen withdrew from the Qatar Masters Open due to a dispute over the dress code. The tournament's rules required players to wear formal attire, specifically a collared shirt, trousers, and dress shoes. Carlsen, who arrived wearing jeans, was asked to change his attire but chose to leave the tournament instead. He later expressed his frustration on social media, highlighting the absurdity of the dress code enforcement, especially since he had worn jeans in previous rounds without issue. This incident has sparked discussions about the relevance and enforcement of dress codes in chess tournaments.
