Magnus Carlsen Controversy: Magnus Carlsen, multiple-time world champion and the reigning World Rapid and Blitz champion, was disqualified from the World Rapid and Blitz Championship 2024, taking place in Wall Street, New York, by FIDE for violating the dress code. FIDE said Carlsen breached the tournament's formal dress code by wearing jeans, which are "explicitly prohibited". Magnus Carlsen was first fined $200 and then asked to change to formals immediately, which Carlsen refused. He said he had agreed to follow the dress from the next day but was not ready to do it immediately. Carlsen was not paired for Round 9, and then FIDE Chief Arbiter Alex Holowzsak disqualified him, citing impartial rules that apply to all players, irrespective of their stature.
