NEW YORK:
Defending champion Carlsen was fined USD 200 for wearing jeans, which are "explicitly prohibited" under tournament regulations and when he refused the request to change his attire right after the eighth round by chief arbiter Alex Holowczak, he was disqualified.
He was not paired for Round 9 of the Rapid championship, taking place at Wall Street.
One of the game's greatest players, the Norwegian ace had agreed to follow the dress from the next day but was not ready to do it immediately, resulting in his disqualification.
"I would rather be at someplace with better weather," was how Carlsen summed up his disqualification from the championship in which he has won in the last two editions.
In a statement, the game's global governing body FIDE emphasized that the dress code rules are well-communicated to all participants and designed to ensure professionalism.
