Magnus Carlsen, upon receiving a fine for his jeans, opted to withdraw from the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships, stating, "I'm too old at this point to care too much" about appealing.
FIDE emphasized that the rules are applied "impartially" and are meant to ensure professionalism. The regulations, including dress code, are in place for all tournament participants to maintain fairness.
MrBeast publicly backed Carlsen's decision on social media, calling it "Savage" and highlighting the support Carlsen received from his followers after the incident.
Chess.com, acknowledging the incident, responded warmly to Carlsen's playful 'outfit of the day' post, further showcasing the community's support for the champion.
