Disagree. FIDE's dress code has double standards, there was a dude in chinos made to look like jeans and they were allowed. To me it seems like a very antiquated rule that needs to be reworked/abolished to keep up with the times.
- sapiogram 2y agoThis rule is new, by the way. There used to be no dress code at all, and it's become increasingly strict in the last few years.

- 8note 2y agoen passant is still considered a new rule, and it was there in the 16th century
- swiftcoder 2y agoEven at that time, it does not appear that the dress code explicitly forbade what the contestant was wearing?
- OJFord 2y agoIt's not that I think the dress code is great, I just think it is what it is, and the one's who can say 'it's a matter of principle' (and get my sympathy anyway) are the ones that uphold that written code of the event, and don't waive it for a famous participant; not the famous participant who.. just wants to violate it basically.
