[@AmazingMrMe123]

So I just looked up the FIDE dress code and this seems weird. In section 3 it says jeans are acceptable. But in section four it says they are not for Winners in award ceremonies. Seeing as this is not an award ceremony it doesnt seem like the no jeans rule should apply. There might be somewhere else where it specifically states the higher dresscode for high profile games or champion players or whatever, but from the easily accessible FIDE dress code PDF it deosnt seem like Magnus was in violation. Which means its actually completely reasonable for him to not know he wasnt supposed to wear jeans. If he did break a rule its not nearly as clear cut as it would seem. And if he did since its a technicality on dresscode he could reasonably not be aware of bringing the hammer down on it doesnt feel right. He was already performing worse than he would like and he didnt want to go to his hotel and back for a pair of pants and mess with his flow. You can say he should've sucked it up and done it anyway, but seeing as he's been getting fed up with FIDE in general recently he decided to crash out instead. Regardless of what you think of Magnus' choice here I think this was not the time for FIDE to be stringent about dresscode technicalities. Also according to Nepo many, many players had similar slight violations of dresscode, so from an event perspective, maybe send out some kind of memo to all teams and players reminding them of the rules and that they will be strictly enforced the next day instead of deciding its top priority for certain players part way through one day. Just spitballing but I think that would be a better approach. Since he was far from the only one in violation that really makes me think this wasnt clearly communicated from the outset.

[@xCupressocyparis]

Very reasonable take. I would also suggest that since many players will have travelled to take part in the tournament they are unlikely to have been able to bring a large wardrobe of clothes with them and so it is really incumbent on FIDE to make the dress code very clear well ahead of time. I don't know all the details of this situation and so far I have only heard Magnus' side of the story but it does appear to be a rather petty and churlish enforcement of the rules by FIDE.

[@AliceYobby]

They showed the (very unprofessional looking) slide for World Championship events, and it had "jeans" with a big red stamp that said "NOT ALLOWED" and "Jeans are not widely accepted to be formal attire" - which frankly just is not true in 2024.

Magnus had reportedly completed 3 of the 4 rounds scheduled for the day and instead of being notified that he'd need to be in compliance with said dress code for the beginning of the next days rounds, he's instructed like a school boy that he must go home and change clothes immediately; this doesn't seem reasonable; Magnus is easily the greatest ambassador (many would also say the greatest player) the game of Chess has ever had, and a tiny bit of leniency would have been wiser.

Who’s the psychopath that kicks out someone from a tournament because he is wearing blue jeans instead of another type of trousers? What’s the problem that prevents him from competing? What’s chess got to do with this nonsense? All top players should take a strong stance on this

[@coolcat23]

Who is the psychopath who agrees to the tournament rules by participating then violates the rules, is given the chance to comply within a reasonable timeframe, but then decides to throw the towel instead of complying like everyone else? If he had an issue with the dress code, he should have spoken up when it was released and feedback was sought for. He could have still uttered his concerns ahead of the tournament, or while complying. This isn't about jeans, this is more likely about Carlsen's poor performance (for his standards) in this tournament and the fact that he is financially involved in a non-FIDE event and begrudges FIDE for not lying down when random organisations claim they are organising "world championship" events. There is a mature way to resolve differences and Magnus did not choose it.

@@coolcat23 He said he would change them tomorrow after finishing the last game. He took the fine, he clearly had no issues with the rule existing and just made a mistake. What is insane is going beyond a fine and requiring the player to go change between games when they should be preparing for the next game. Magnus's chances at the tournament were still completely fine. It wouldn't have been the easiest win ever by any means but he has played and won worse without causing a problem. FIDE is the one who decided to escalate from a fine to ending Magnus's tournament run. Additionally, why should FIDE hold the exclusive rights to the words "world championship"? Clearly they hold those rights for the "World Chess Championship" and the "World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championship", but they have no reason to cause problems for the "Freestyle Chess World Championship" which does not use their branding or the names associated with FIDE nor runs in a format FIDE officially governs in chess. If someone decided to start another random tournament and called it the "World Chess Championship" then absolutely FIDE would be within their right as governing body to take issue with that, as they run the world classical chess championship. But they do not run a freestyle chess world championship, and therefore have no right to govern that tournament and the naming conventions of it.

“Take take take” off your jeans - FIDE Arbiter

[@mapari00]

The jeans rule is stupid. Once a penalty is applied, forcing a player to change between rounds is heavy handed, so unless the case is extreme, it’s stupid. I’ve heard from a few places that there are other players wearing jeans or sporting dress code violations. One could argue that going after the top guy sets an example, but I would argue that if it’s a problem you should go after everyone, or no one. On the back of the recent tension between Carlsen and FIDE regarding freestyle chess, this smacks of potential corruption, especially if the rule has been unequally enforced. When a player of Magnus’ reputation walks away because of a “simple” rule enforcement, that could be because they are a diva, or because of a long standing policy of bullheaded corrupt crony bureaucratic decision making. I see it as mostly the latter.
