Magnus is the reason the tournaments are better. He brought eyes to all those young players in the different formats and venues, which aren't FIDE sponsored, and introduced the world to the great young Indian generation.
You should stop sharing this kind of news, because you know nothing about chess. As a chess fan it seems like your just putting down magnus carlsen. Research more about this conflict.
Co-World Champions in one of FIDE's highest elimination tournaments is a slippery slope. This initial rule on outerwear was not clear (wish you had downloaded the rules) and allowed for interpretation. Magnus used his high profile to push back and won. Now other players may push back.
This is unexpected from firstpost... so many points missed in this which includes him trying to suppress FIDE and promote Free style chess, bending the rules by deciding to ask for joint winner in knockout tournament and trying to fix the match in case they don't agree for joint winners...
Sad how just because An Indian is now the world champion. Some Indians will try to paint Magnus as a bad person. You guys know nothing about chess and this shows.
Magnus Carlsen's decision to wear jeans at a tournament, despite it being a dress code violation, can certainly be debated in terms of professionalism and sportsmanship. As the face of chess for many, his actions are often scrutinized. Ideally, he could have handled the situation differently to set a positive example without compromising his individuality. Here are a few approaches he could have taken: 1. Respect the Rules As a professional, adhering to the tournament's dress code would have been a straightforward way to avoid controversy. Dressing according to the guidelines would demonstrate respect for the organizers, the sport, and fellow participants. 2. Request a Pre-Approved Exception If he preferred wearing jeans for comfort or personal reasons, he could have communicated with the organizers beforehand and sought permission for an exception. 3. Make a Statement Respectfully If his choice was a deliberate statement (e.g., against rigid dress codes), he could have made his point through an open dialogue with the chess community rather than through non-compliance. This approach would frame him as both rebellious and respectful. 4. Pay the Fine, But Address the Issue While he chose to pay the fine, following it up with a thoughtful explanation or 3:053:05 As a role model, Magnus could have embraced the dress code and used it as an opportunity to show that even the greatest of all time follow s the rules In essence, while his talent and achievements are unquestionable, as the GOAT, his actions outside the board also influence the perception of the game and its culture. Balancing individuality with respect for the rules is an ideal way to inspire others while maintaining his own identity.
I strongly agree with you and the host. Can Fide afford it if All india and some others take their position against Carlsen and boycott every event where Carlsen is involved? Sponsors in other sports withdraw when there is controversy in a league, game or tournament. Why not also in chess? We don't just promote the game, we promote what the game does to a person. Look at Wesley so, prag, gukesh, Ding Liren, etc..they remained humble despite their status in sports. They are players worthy of the address "grandmaster" Anyway, no one stays there forever.
@ except top tenplayers in the world rest of the chess players are not well off financially solely based on earnings from fide. Fide president earns more than all top chess players except Magnus, hikaru. Imagine nba president earning more than top ten nba players. Your organisation is for the benefit of the players , right ? Where are the players even benefitting ? Bad rules, bad organisations etc etc.
There was no actual match fixing there because said short draws never happened. If FIDE didn't agree to share the title, the players would be forced to play and if they indeed decided to play short draws, then they would be fixing the match.
Carlsen coming late is not unusual, neither is him winning the tournament, neither him having dislike towards FIDE. Maybe this news to “First report” not to us. Therefore stop saying this and come directly to point
Why should player bend over to FIDE? This is an authoritarian mind set, rules are made to suppress people, instead of rules for the best of the people.
Carlsen does not have the stamina to play for the championship circuit, so he does these two minute sprints. He is clearly showing that he feels entitled to special treatment, and is rapidly losing the respect of other players. His moves on the board may still be good, but off the board he is now a stinker.

Actually it appears to be a wrong narrative for me too... Actually as far I understand, Magnus Carlsen dress looked appropriate only. Just because he wore that, disqualifying him from a round seems way too harsh...The chess arbiter or Fide could sort to lesser punishments like fine etc... And as far as I understand, majority of prominent other chess players(like Hikaru nakamura, Ian nepo, lewy) also agree that what FIDE did is unfair... FIDE should change their stupid rules to begin with... Also in the background, there is also some disagreement between FIDE and many chess player regarding freelance chess...
@ he wasn’t disqualified from the round. He was asked to change his clothes before playing because there is a dress code. Rules are rules regardless of who they are. He wasn’t following it. It’s that simple.
He is not angry and rogue, such a poor comment to use against the greatest of all time . Magnus is one of the reason why FIDE events are sponsored by large corporations, he already gave up his world classical world championship due to FIDE’s format and their unwillingness to change. If Magnus leaves FIDE then it will be their biggest loss alongside the viewers like me and Magnus will still make his money through freestyle Chess. Time for FIDE to wake up and change their colonial policies and guidelines.
Freedom from dress code is there in Infosys Bengaluru. When in war of chess, why dress code. Mostly they are not wild guys, who participated. 😂 Foul language after fund raising from Chess game, not fine to fine only $200😢

exactly my feelings. news just for sake for news without knowing ABC of chess world.

exactly correct - that's the much bigger story here
Fide mocks fide by their useless rules.
The Jeans rule was not clearly spelt and there were lacunas in the dress code and generalisation which needs to be rectified.
If the jeans look neat and clean then no problem because there's a way to look smart even with jeans
His butt crack was showing in the Rapid.
Sad how just because An Indian is now the world champion.

1. The dresscode rules are stupid
2. Magnus is above the rules
First become half as good as magnus then comment about him. FIDE is corrupt. Magnus is just standing against it.
I strongly agree with you and the host.

@@supratiksarkar1195 Alright then
Type facts on basis of.. u r accusing FIDE corrupted
@ except top tenplayers in the world rest of the chess players are not well off financially solely based on earnings from fide.

NOOOOO!!,,,Rupha really??? it wasn't entirely about the jeans...you should have given hints: at least mention fischer random somewhere.
Why is FIDE bending over to Magnus? Show some spine.

Players are never equal in any sport. Champs will always be treated VIP mode, just accept it and move on
I feel so bad for Indians who listen to this type of misinformation 24/7. Why don't they do any type of research beforehand?😂
It makes all Indians look very bad.

wrong narrative by the host as usual
She presented it perfectly well! What are you even talking about bruh
Your news source is newslaundry. So, please don't tell others about their narrative.

Yes terrible lies from the host, makes all Indians looking bad.
He is not angry and rogue, such a poor comment to use against the greatest of all time .

Time for FIDE to wake up and change their colonial policies and guidelines.
can you imagine Kasparov going for co-champions?
me neither
Of course, FIDE president seems to be spineless.
What about the fixed title match?
A world champion should be responsible
Please do a research and understand the conflict.
Magnus The Goat 🐐🤟 I am on Magnus side. I know most of our follow Indians hate Magnus, idiot Media made them to hate Magnus.
FIDE IS A JOKE. Amazing how they stupidly caved in to Magnus👎 Very disappointed! Disgraceful!👎
Its 100% true, fide is a 🤡,no tiebreaker Armageddon for world championship.
I'm just glad that many people do realize how bad this insanity by Magnus is for the chess world
What's wrong with jeans? Fide might as well ban women from wearing makeup or G strings! 😅😅😅
Freedom from dress code is there in Infosys Bengaluru. When in war of chess, why dress code. Mostly they are not wild guys, who participated. 😂 Foul language after fund raising from Chess game, not fine to fine only $200😢
Carlsen did not win. Carlsen and Nepo FIXED the game.
FYI Carlsen did not wore jeans on his wedding! Disgrace to the cause!
😂😂 fake news
💪💪💪💪Magnus must be permanently kicked out. FIDE must not bend rules to each and every player.....can a player play naked????
if fide focus on what a person wear for the game and not the actual game or talent, Fide must be kicked out from chess.. not carlsen...
Looks like so, if he is Magnus! Then FIDE will come up with a statement " The player has to be decently undressed!!"
U on cocaine bro, who said we wanna be naked, it’s bullshit that u can not wear jeans😂
Looks like you are paranoy and very Orthodox to just your views about life. Give it a rest.
if magnus permanently kicked out.... i am not watching fide chess anymore... i watch just for magnus.... he is the world's best player
Denim run by westt sure thrybjumpnin giv prb
Magnus us a shame to chess
You are a shame to humanity
Nice noobs
Wat shamee
FIDE needs Carlson, otherwise you wouldn’t change the rules for him. Dummy FIDE
Magnus is magnus. Not gukesh or anyone. Just magnus things.
Carlsen=Chess. He's not just a player by the way and he should be Fide president.
Beautiful presenter
