FIDE is so antiquated. They banned Magnus, arguably the best player of all time, from playing their last round in the chess world rapid championship *because he was wearing jeans*. I’m all for nobody being above the rules, but these dress codes are just ridiculous. #fide #chess

They fined him and he said he's going to change the next day. But they didn't let him play the last game of the day in the jeans he was already wearing. That's ridiculous. But the more important point is that these dress codes are idiotic and enforcing them even more so.
