Carlsen's Controversy at World Rapid Championship

During the second day of the World Rapid Championship in New York, Norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen faced penalties for wearing jeans, which violates FIDE regulations. After receiving a warning about his attire, Carlsen expressed his frustration, stating he wouldn't participate on the final day or in the upcoming blitz championship. He emphasized his desire to avoid conflict, mentioning he might seek a more pleasant location instead.
