World Chess Blitz Championship: Carlsen returns after dispute over jeans - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen is headed back to the World Blitz Championship on Monday after its governing body agreed to loosen a dress code that got him fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans.

Lamenting the contretemps, International Chess Federation President Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement Sunday that he'd let World Blitz Championship tournament officials consider allowing appropriate jeans with a jacket, and other elegant minor deviations from the dress code.

Carlsen, meanwhile, said in a video posted Sunday on social media that he would play and wear jeans in the World Blitz Championship when it begins Monday.
