GM Magnus Carlsen withdrew from the World Chess Rapid Championships on 27 December 2024 after attending one of the tournament rounds dressed wearing jeans in breach of the players conduct under 4.10 of the tournament regulations (see link to BBC news).
To everyone's surprise Carlsen "rejoined" the tournament after "elegant adjustments" were made to the dress code (see link to FIDE statement). Carlsen concluded the World Blitz Championship sharing the Open title with Nepomniachtchi (see link to FIDE news). |
