Magnus Carlsen disqualified from top chess meet..!?
In chess, which is an intellectual sport, everything is considered very crucial. Nothing that disrupts the concentration of the players is allowed. Dress is also part of this. However, such a rule has brought a legendary player to the point of saying goodbye to the tournament. After Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov, Magnus Carlsen is emerging as a legend in the chess world. 34-year-old Carlsen is from Norway. He won the world championship in 2013 by defeating India's Viswanathan anand in the World Chess championship held in Chennai. Carlsen's highest rating points are 2872. Carlsen, a top-ranked chess player, has been embroiled in controversy. He recently withdrew from the world rapid and blitz competitions. However, the dress code was crucial on this occasion. Chief Arbiter alex Holosak disqualified Magnus for not following the code. He also fined him $200.
"I fell asleep when I got here. I had a good lunch before the meeting. I didn't have time to go to the room and change. I was wearing a shirt and a jacket. I didn't even realize I was wearing jeans. I didn't even change my shoes. I was fined. They said I had to change after the third round. It might not be possible today. Even though I said I would come back tomorrow, they threw me out. I won't appeal. I won't play in the Blitz championship," Carlsen said.
