FIDE Eases Dress Code for Chess Championships

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) announced a more flexible dress code for world championships, allowing minor stylish deviations, including jeans. This change follows Magnus Carlsen's withdrawal after being fined for wearing jeans. He accepted the fine but argued it was an oversight. Previously, players faced penalties for dress code violations, highlighting the federation's strict policies. The new approach aims to balance professionalism with comfort.
