Defending champion Magnus Carlsen caused a scandal at the World Rapid Chess Championship in New York. After being punished for violating the dress code by the world association Fide, the 34-year-old Norwegian announced his immediate withdrawal from the tournament. He will no longer play and will travel there “where the weather is a little better than here,” said Carlsen.

Carlsen doesn’t want to change

The number 1 in the world chess rankings appeared in jeans for the game day on Friday, which is prohibited for participants. After his second game of the day, Carlsen received a $200 fine from the organizer and an ultimatum to change immediately. However, Carlsen refused and was subsequently disqualified for the 9th round.

“Carlsen violated the dress code by wearing jeans, which are expressly prohibited for this event under long-standing regulations,” the world association said. “These rules have been in effect for years.” Carlsen then rejected a possible continuation of the tournament.
