Are jeans undignified or disrespectful?
- epgui 2y agoIt doesn't really matter, regardless of whether or not we agree with the rules, jeans are clearly prohibited in the tournament: 4.10.1.3. No players with t-shirts, jeans, shorts, sneakers, baseball caps or inappropriate dress are allowed in the playing area. Any requests to wear national or traditional dress shall be approved by FIDE Supervisor.

- saghm 2y agoHaving bad rules written down doesn't make them immune to criticism. It's a silly unnecessary rule that shouldn't exist, and while Carlsen doesn't deserve any special treatment, being consistent in enforcing a bad rule isn't better than not having the rule in the first place.
