Didn't want to disqualify him, but Carlsen left us with no choice: Anand - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand said FIDE didn't want to disqualify Magnus Carlsen from the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championship, but the Norwegian left them with no choice after refusing to follow the rules.

Defending champion Carlsen was fined USD 200 for wearing jeans, which are "explicitly prohibited" under tournament regulations and when he refused the request by chief arbiter Alex Holowczak to change his attire right after the eighth round, he was disqualified.

Magnus was not willing to compromise," Anand, the deputy president of chess' global governing body, told Chessbase India.
