I really enjoy Levy as an interviewer. It feels like he is part of us, the people watching, and that he is wondering about the same questions and is not just some vessel
So that means all other players can also wear the jeans as well !!!! Or he is only the exception to the rules. That's unfair to the other players who is abiding the rules.
Hans said he doesn't own jeans because he was cultured the other day. They are selling chess imo....not saying it's coordinated but def like boxers talking smack.
I don't think it is a roast, because everyone realizes that Hans is not 'the very best' yet. Magnus acknowledging that every player deserves to have the chance, and Niemann is an infamous example here, as he doesn't get invited to many tournaments.
I agree with Magus, it's a chess competition, it's not fashion show competition. He looks good with blue jeans yesterday, it matched with his cloth and jacket.

At about 20:30 , this video begins to artifact and bug out. Not sure what's happening, but commenting just in case somebody else wants to know if its their browser or the video.
It's funny because he accused a kid of cheating without any proof and then that kid got blacklisted and sued AND WON and Magnus never publicly apologized for that but I guess when you're a millionaire you get away with ruining someone's life. Funny money.
I also liked when he told Hans that being rude isn't good and he'll end up burning bridges but when Millionaire Magnus throws tantrums Levy is quiet like sheep because... Well... Money 🤑🤑🤑 great guy Levy out on his daily milking
@assaqwwq Sebastian put it well. Magnus is well established in his career, Hans is an amazing chess player, just doesn't have the same type of experience.
gald he’s back. i was at the event spectating yesterday and, like some have mentioned, there were players in less than semi-formal, casual attire. this wasn’t at any of the boards being televised, but still, it evidenced that rules after all aren’t all that strict.
@@Keralaforum but it's a stupid rule that has nothing to do with chess. If you're a type of person that follows blindly on these stupid rules then good for you I guess
Was this supposed to be sarcasm? The official title is "BREAKING: MAGNUS CARLSEN IS BACK!" and you have to use DeArrow to get more readable title "Magnus Carlsen will play in the 2024 World Blitz Championship after all".
I don’t know about adults , but they guy yesterday explaining the rules in my head I was like yeah that guy was the hall monitor in high school making us late for class 🤣🤣
Give it a rest. He was throwing a temper tantrum because he was losing badly in Rapid. It has nothing to do with the Jeans rule, which actually makes sense, since Jeans is casual looking, not fitting for a world championship.
It’s not about the jeans really, it’s a weasel worm arbiter challenging the boss of chess with stupid sudo rules. Who cares if he was having a temper tantrum. He’s the Micheal Jordan, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods of chess. He’s the reason crowds of main stream people care about chess. Rules and Regs are always adaptable to super stars. Get out of his way and let him cook.
@@pvdl11 Before Magnus left the tournament, he had 5 points. Just like Pragg who came very close to winning the event. So Magnus still had good winning chances, in fact, it is quiet common for Magnus to have a bad first day and then make a comeback. So no, Magnus didnt just leave because of his performance.
How about if Magnus is the CEO of FIDE in the near future and it happened the same way. Do you think he will give the special treatment to that top player ?
@@hensonchin9090 It had NOTHING to do with special treatment at all. I guess you need to educate yourself on the FIDE rules and how arbiters should be during tournaments. When a rule is a guideline, like here, the arbiter should use common sense and that was for sure not applied here. And it wasn't applied because the arbiter is not qualified for his job at all. And Emil wants to show all how powerful he is as usual.
Nah, he's going to keep sulking and threatening to pull out of comps any time something he doesn't like happens. There's nothing articulate or professional about saying F off on a live interview. I agree the jeans stuff was stupid but Magnus is always carrying on like everyone should be so grateful that he even bothers to turn up.
@@The_Judge300 What I mean is that he is the only player who is not abiding the dress code. Maybe he is thinking that he is the most important player so he can get a special treatment and do whatever he want. Lets say you were invited in the wedding event and you are one of the important guest but you only want to wear a pair of t-shirt and a short pants. Do you think its appropriate? A rule is a rule. Nobody is above the rule. And the fide ceo mentioned in an interview that before the event he has some some special request before the event by which they agreed upon. But he didn't say what kind of request is that.
@@trecheary9765 I wouldn't say that kiddo;; often fathers jump into protection of higher causes, while in this case Magnus had to protect the dignity of the game against mindless robots. Magnus acted in a perfectly manly, adult way. To succumb to FIDE's irrationality and ineptness to think, would be more your way. It take a man with balls to confront the mindless machinery.
@@trecheary9765 lol imagine thinking that. he's dedicated his life to chess and is the greatest in history in it. he's more than capable at handling his own in any situation, you just never see him behind closed doors. also, since he is the best, he doesn't need to show much care due to his status. he doesn't need to try, he has handlers doing it for him but that is all because he put in the work to get to where he is. give and take in life buddy, it's not completely like how you think it is. a trillion variables at play in any given moment that you fail to see
Back in the bad old days of air traffic control we had to wear a white shirt and black tie. Now - mind you, we were sitting in a dark, locked room, in a locked building, behind an enclosing security fence with a gate guard controlling entrance to the facility. Folks that pushed back got sent home, disciplined, etc. A guy came in one day wearing a white shirt and bright red tie. He was sent home with no pay for the day. The next day he appeared in the required white shirt and black tie with a pair of bright red suspenders. That was the beginning of the turtle slow easing of the ridiculous dress code. :-)
@@Raii_Chu Do not fall for hero worship. Carseln's arrogance was also disrespect for other players. A psychological insult for the rest. No one can go alone now. It's not single man boxing like Mike Tyson or Mohammed Ali. Once out of FIDE Carlsen will know who he is ! His father knows that better and that is why he has come back!
Was thinking the exact same thing. His questions struck the perfect balance between respectful and challenging. If he gets tired of chess he has a future as a general pod caster or journalist. Who knew.
I used to run an online gaming league, and our last rule said "Leniency will be granted if breach of the rules is deemed to have sufficient comedic value. Penalties will be given based on the severity of the infringement. Repeated rule infringements may result in suspension and/or public mocking.". I feel FIDE needs something similar. They could have just tweeted "haha, Magnus forgot his pants", then shown a photo of him in jeans along with a quote of the rule he breached.
Who are you kidding!? Its FIDE, ruled by ex communist organization, with all the same people mindset whom ruled back then. They are dinosaur organization
That rule is way worse than the current rules. It invites people to break to rules if they can do so in a funny manner, then you have an arbiter that doesn't like you or is having a bad day, deems comedic value isn't enough. Also, there are lots of people who think they are funny but they aren't.
This OP understands PR. "Haha Magnus forgot his pants" would have become a meme for at least a couple of years, if not longer. And FIDE would have gained cool points in the community's eyes. If only a savvy marketer had counseled them on how to capitalize on the moment
Nieman: "I'm actually a cultured person, I don't own any jeans" Magnus: "we want to give, not only to the very best players, but also others like Nieman, the chance to qualify"
Didn't Magnus get Niemann blacklisted? And lost in court and had to pay??? Are you pretending the best chess player doesn't know the rules after a lifetime of participation? He could have avoided jeans, yes. Some people do that and never got fined. Some people also show up on time
@@assaqwwq you know a fact. You can actually wear jeans with some different type of shirts. Rules states that generally u can't wear jeans that means there will be some exception
@@assaqwwq that didn't happen at all, stop spreading bs, nieman tried to sue magnus $100million but the judge dismissed it. Nieman has admitted to cheating when he was younger, and in 2022 magnus lost a match against niemann and was convinced he was cheating so he refused to keep playing in the same tournament as the cheater. Magnus was fined 10000 euros for withdrawal from a tournament without valid reason, the charges related to niemann directly were all dismissed (unfounded accusation of chess cheating, attempt to undermine honor, disparagement of FIDE’s reputation and interests) because carlsen HAD reasonable suspicions. And if we're talking about chess level, both hikaru and carlsen annihilated Niemann on the last Speed chess championship. Niemann even tried to complain about the mic and what not in order to distract the players but ended losing miserably anyway
@@RogerMentol I am an old guy who remembers going to a library to find chess magazines in order to follow tournaments that ended months or even years ago.
BTW I just read FIDE dress code rules that said: 3.a) The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, jeans, long-sleeve or shirt-sleeve dress shirt, dress shirt, alternatively T-shirts or polo, dress shoes, loafers or dressy slip-ons, socks, shoes or sneakers, sport coat, blazer, Bermuda shorts, turtleneck, jacket, vest or sweater. Team uniforms and national costumes clothing. So since jeans ARE actually appropriate attire according to the FIDE ITSELF!!
What a genius, good that you can read. You think the best player in the world doesn't already know what he should wear and what he shouldn't? Was he born yesterday and got to 2850 today or what are we talking about? It's absolutely ridiculous that you think this rule makes any sense and that it's not a way for fide to keep out women and minorities out of this sport. Good job. You played yourself. It's funny when millionaires talk to each other, it magically gets solved, but when Anna Maja gets fined nobody bats an eye. Why can't people just think for themselves, huh? Why you gotta read the rules for? The rules won't change because neither millionaires involved in this discussion want that to change. And do you know what you are? Not one of them
Nice to see Magnus play the Blitz tournament in NY ! Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura got competition now ! also glad to see a more reasonable Magnus ( no cursing, better communication). He laid out his point of view better, explains what he doesnt like about Fide ( sutovsky, main arbiter) and at the same time expressing respect for FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich. Timur Turlov is CEO of Freedom Capital, the main sponsor and for sure expressed to FIDE that he wanted Magnus Carlsen back in the tournament. That's important for the context of this interview
I bet the main sponsor called the FIDE CEO and said "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR F__KING MIND??? GO APOLOGIZE TO HIM. NOW!!!!!!!!" (hangs up). FIDE CEO staring at the dead phone: "yes master, of course master, right away master."
One of the hugest values this channel brings AND this candid interview is the authenticity. The real talk about FIDE, its president v its ceo, really refreshing.
More like Magnus is justifiably upset and frustrated (emotional) and his dad is being his rock and voice of reason (logic) that Magnus obviously respects
Great interview. So glad that calm sane heads have prevailed and that FIDE & Magnus have come to some kind of understanding and he'll play blitz again. Nice work!
@@pedllz the microphones are fine. Sound quality is fine. Using a handheld mic going directly into a PA system (physical or electronic) gives them better control over sound quality. 20:20 was a compression issue. That’s a UA-cam problem.
Yeah,be like Elon and you can take over a country and control the lives of billions of people and none can stand up to you because the police will shoot them down before they will get to you. GREAT MESSAGE FOR THE KIDS, DUDE! I wonder where you fit in the grand scheme of things..
Magnus seems invigorated in this interview - I think it must be refreshing to be talking about something important, topical, but importantly refreshingly different
What a legend. “I said some choice words about FIDE. I want to clarify that for the most part I was right and add some more choice words like calling them robots and non-grown-ups.” It’s like when Karl Lagerfeld insulted Adele, and his apology consisted of saying “I’m sorry, I meant Lana Del Rey.”
In general, really have to agree with Magnus on most of these points. The punishment was extremely unreasonable for the crime. He was already fined for his attire, and he said he will change it for tomorrow. That should have been enough of a punishment for the minor crime here, anything more than that is abuse of power, or just complete lack of judgement.
This has been such a weird few days for me. I know who Magnus is but I don’t even remotely care about competitive chess haha but for some odd reason I’ve been glued to this story and have been watching each video this channel has posted about this topic.
You should watch some competitive chess... it might surprise you. It is an awesome sport of the mind and Magnus is arguably one of the best players to have ever lived. In the top 2 or 3 for sure. He plays chess way better than he publicly speaks.
can I genuinely ask, before this incident, how many of us spectators actually paid attention to what players were wearing? Equally, with players sitting down on a table you can literally only see their upper half with a camera pointing. This whole situation is staggering and whoever set the dress code policy is an utter bunch of morons…
I don't get why he even mentioned Anand. He's in the Chair of the "Appeals Committee", and Magnus didn't appeal. Why should Vishy Anand even intervene in a situation when you're refusing to "formally approach him" (for whatever reasons) yet going and whining to/about him verbally? He needs to grow up.
Agree. When magnus has not even appealed, he has no right to whine about Anand not qualified for the job. Can we say Magnus was emotional that he did not appeal 😊
I was searching in comments for something related to Anand. Who the heck is that motherfucker Carlsen to just say stupid accusation and go unnoticed. Sad thing is that people just accept what comes out of Carlsen whether it is shit or good.
They have published the dress code which says Smart Business Attire....Meanwhile ALOT of businessmen/women wear jeans with their shirts/ties/jackets Its common practice now for CEO's to wear Jeans/jackets/shirts/ties
@@igbc176 no it says in the rules, "are not generally considered as business" does not explicitly say no jeans allowed...so like Magnus said, if its generally not considered there must then be cases where it is allowed, and like he said and from what we can all see he was appropriately dressed for the event even in jeans.
@asaraphym802 "are not generally considered as business" is just the explanation why jeans are not allowed. They are not there to conduct business, they are there to play chess so it is clear. If I say you are not allowed to enter my bank with balaclava because balaclava is generally not considered to be used in legal activities, I am not saying that you can argue and wear balaclava in my bank
@@gutschgutscher2609Anand makes chess popular, Magnus is just making millions off of your backs. Or are you one of those that pretend to understand what moves he makes? Anand helped form the next generation of Indian chess players, where exactly is Magnuss contribution? Tbf, I did start watching UA-cam content when he falsely accused a kid of cheating without any proof and had to settle out of court for millions, so I guess you're right... I don't think that's a good thing what he did but ... Again, he has the money to pay for it, your money
@@assaqwwq Carlsen is a fascinating person. He's the pop star of chess. Anand is a good chess player....but nobody in Europe is really interested in Anand anymore or Indian chess in general in my opinion. Carlsen has attracted many sponsors to chess, this is a good thing.
Magnus lies. Fide says jeans not allowed. On a broachure were they explain the reasons of each rule it says jeans are NOT allowed in this tournament because jeans are generally not allowed in workplaces.
I noticed that too. The chess federation took a solid aim at their own foot with that one. And that chief arbiter, in his sorely misguided wisdom, confidently pulled the trigger on behalf of said federation... Thankfully, the president of the federation himself, finally woke up from his little nap(...) and sorted their mess out for them... What an utter farse!
@@igbc176 That's not the full story either. The FIDE handbook's official dress code policy says jeans are allowed so long as there are no tears or holes. The handbook also says the World Rapid and Blitz Championships are regulated by this dress code. But then they put out that brochure excluding jeans completely for this tournament. Seems like it would be easy to get confused or make a mistake when there appears to be conflicting information.
@@Temptthedevil there is no conflict. This special event did not allow jeans period. Other players like Nepo and Hikaru made mistakes dressing and changed their shoes and clothings respecting the tournament and other players. Diva Magnus is very disrespectful of other players and he disrespecting the dress code after having 5 points in 8 games is not surprise for me
7:57 the key point and what I've been saying about FIDE arbiter power tripping. Magnus is rich so $200 couldn't hurt him so they wanted to hurt him and banned a game, basically forcing Magnus to act out in principle. The dress code is not like bypassing security checks, taking back a move, gaining extra time, or anything unfair. The fact FIDE chose to NOT use discretion despite Magnus promising to fix it tomorrow (but they demanded TODAY). And then it was pettiness that $200 couldn't make Magnus feel pain so they went crazy and banned a game from him. FIDE arbiter failed discretion + power tripping.
Ridiculous! What they apply to lesser players they must apply to the best. This is a form of special pleading - McEnroe's doctrine which buggered up tennis for lesser players for a decade.
@@davidbracewell1674 Yes, THIS should apply to all: 3. Dress Code for players during games in progress. 3.a. The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, jeans, long-sleeve or shirt-sleeve dress shirt, dress shirt, alternatively T-shirts or polo, dress shoes, loafers or dressy slip-ons, socks, shoes or sneakers, sport coat, blazer,, Bermuda shorts, turtleneck, jacket, vest or sweater. Team uniforms and national costume clothing. 3.b. The following is NOT acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. Beach-wear slips, profanity and nude or semi-nude pictures printed on shirts, torn pants or jeans. Holes, denim shorts, short-shorts, cut-off shorts, gym shorts, unclean clothing, sunglasses, sport caps.
I also think it’s about his fans because they came because of Magnus. Magnus is the best and they want to see him play and perform great. I think it was a bit unfair and for his sponsors but it’s his decision and we had to respect it. I’m happy he’s back to play and I hope he does very well and win this tournament.
@@ramazanAb True. It was about FIDE's sponsors. If it was about Magnus' sponsors he wouldn't have held his ground "on principle". He would have simply obeyed like Ian Nepomniatchi. FIDE just learnt the hard way that they NEED Magnus. Magnus is chess, not FIDE.

It's funny because he accused a kid of cheating without any proof and then that kid got blacklisted and sued AND WON and Magnus never publicly apologized for that but I guess when you're a millionaire you get away with ruining someone's life. Funny money.

FIDE has forgotten that a chess tournament is about playing chess.
Exactly, and its not a fashion show !!!!!!
FIDE only cares about control. Been that way for decades.
There are rules mister. Even restaurents have rules. One cannot change the rule just for one person in the middle of a tournament.

Saaaame! He's not wrong. Multiple folks saying the head of FIDE is a reasonable guy. But he has yahoos running the day to day.

Give it a rest. He was throwing a temper tantrum because he was losing badly in Rapid. It has nothing to do with the Jeans rule, which actually makes sense, since Jeans is casual looking, not fitting for a world championship.
@@pvdl11FIDE was the one who prevented him from playing the last game lmao, Magnus would have paid the fine and continued playing otherwise.

Before Magnus left the tournament, he had 5 points. Just like Pragg who came very close to winning the event.
So Magnus still had good winning chances, in fact, it is quiet common for Magnus to have a bad first day and then make a comeback.
So no, Magnus didnt just leave because of his performance.

How about if Magnus is the CEO of FIDE in the near future and it happened the same way. Do you think he will give the special treatment to that top player ?
@@hensonchin9090
It had NOTHING to do with special treatment at all.
I guess you need to educate yourself on the FIDE rules and how arbiters should be during tournaments.
When a rule is a guideline, like here, the arbiter should use common sense and that was for sure not applied here.
And it wasn't applied because the arbiter is not qualified for his job at all.
And Emil wants to show all how powerful he is as usual.
Nah, he's going to keep sulking and threatening to pull out of comps any time something he doesn't like happens. There's nothing articulate or professional about saying F off on a live interview. I agree the jeans stuff was stupid but Magnus is always carrying on like everyone should be so grateful that he even bothers to turn up.
@@The_Judge300 What I mean is that he is the only player who is not abiding the dress code. Maybe he is thinking that he is the most important player so he can get a special treatment and do whatever he want. Lets say you were invited in the wedding event and you are one of the important guest but you only want to wear a pair of t-shirt and a short pants. Do you think its appropriate? A rule is a rule. Nobody is above the rule. And the fide ceo mentioned in an interview that before the event he has some some special request before the event by which they agreed upon. But he didn't say what kind of request is that.

@@trecheary9765 I wouldn't say that kiddo;; often fathers jump into protection of higher causes, while in this case Magnus had to protect the dignity of the game against mindless robots. Magnus acted in a perfectly manly, adult way. To succumb to FIDE's irrationality and ineptness to think, would be more your way. It take a man with balls to confront the mindless machinery.
@@trecheary9765 lol imagine thinking that. he's dedicated his life to chess and is the greatest in history in it. he's more than capable at handling his own in any situation, you just never see him behind closed doors. also, since he is the best, he doesn't need to show much care due to his status. he doesn't need to try, he has handlers doing it for him but that is all because he put in the work to get to where he is. give and take in life buddy, it's not completely like how you think it is. a trillion variables at play in any given moment that you fail to see

Back in the bad old days of air traffic control we had to wear a white shirt and black tie. Now - mind you, we were sitting in a dark, locked room, in a locked building, behind an enclosing security fence with a gate guard controlling entrance to the facility. Folks that pushed back got sent home, disciplined, etc. A guy came in one day wearing a white shirt and bright red tie. He was sent home with no pay for the day. The next day he appeared in the required white shirt and black tie with a pair of bright red suspenders. That was the beginning of the turtle slow easing of the ridiculous dress code. :-)

WOW didn't expect Mr Gotham to conduct the Interview so well, asking the right questions. He should do more interviews.
Was thinking the exact same thing. His questions struck the perfect balance between respectful and challenging. If he gets tired of chess he has a future as a general pod caster or journalist. Who knew.
I used to run an online gaming league, and our last rule said "Leniency will be granted if breach of the rules is deemed to have sufficient comedic value. Penalties will be given based on the severity of the infringement. Repeated rule infringements may result in suspension and/or public mocking.".
I feel FIDE needs something similar.
They could have just tweeted "haha, Magnus forgot his pants", then shown a photo of him in jeans along with a quote of the rule he breached.
Who are you kidding!? Its FIDE, ruled by ex communist organization, with all the same people mindset whom ruled back then. They are dinosaur organization
😂
Unfortunately FIDE is nowhere near as based as that. Fun and comedy are words that are beyond their understanding.
That rule is way worse than the current rules.
It invites people to break to rules if they can do so in a funny manner, then you have an arbiter that doesn't like you or is having a bad day, deems comedic value isn't enough.
Also, there are lots of people who think they are funny but they aren't.
This OP understands PR. "Haha Magnus forgot his pants" would have become a meme for at least a couple of years, if not longer. And FIDE would have gained cool points in the community's eyes. If only a savvy marketer had counseled them on how to capitalize on the moment

Magnus was fined 10000 euros for withdrawal from a tournament without valid reason, the charges related to niemann directly were all dismissed (unfounded accusation of chess cheating, attempt to undermine honor, disparagement of FIDE’s reputation and interests) because carlsen HAD reasonable suspicions. And if we're talking about chess level, both hikaru and carlsen annihilated Niemann on the last Speed chess championship.

Jeans or no jeans, Magnus is and was portraying a professional image. He’s dressed up. He looks good. They’re nice jeans and a nice button up.
BTW I just read FIDE dress code rules that said:
3.a) The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation.
Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, jeans, long-sleeve or shirt-sleeve dress shirt, dress shirt, alternatively T-shirts or polo, dress shoes, loafers or dressy slip-ons, socks, shoes or sneakers, sport coat, blazer, Bermuda shorts, turtleneck, jacket, vest or sweater. Team uniforms and national costumes clothing.
So since jeans ARE actually appropriate attire according to the FIDE ITSELF!!
They made special rules for this event, which was bullshit.
There are more narrow rules for more prestigious events like world championships.
What a genius, good that you can read. You think the best player in the world doesn't already know what he should wear and what he shouldn't? Was he born yesterday and got to 2850 today or what are we talking about?
It's absolutely ridiculous that you think this rule makes any sense and that it's not a way for fide to keep out women and minorities out of this sport. Good job. You played yourself.

Nice to see Magnus play the Blitz tournament in NY ! Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura got competition now ! also glad to see a more reasonable Magnus ( no cursing, better communication). He laid out his point of view better, explains what he doesnt like about Fide ( sutovsky, main arbiter) and at the same time expressing respect for FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich. Timur Turlov is CEO of Freedom Capital, the main sponsor and for sure expressed to FIDE that he wanted Magnus Carlsen back in the tournament. That's important for the context of this interview
I bet the main sponsor called the FIDE CEO and said "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR F__KING MIND??? GO APOLOGIZE TO HIM. NOW!!!!!!!!" (hangs up). FIDE CEO staring at the dead phone: "yes master, of course master, right away master."
I had the exact same thought.
One of the hugest values this channel brings AND this candid interview is the authenticity. The real talk about FIDE, its president v its ceo, really refreshing.

Great interview. So glad that calm sane heads have prevailed and that FIDE & Magnus have come to some kind of understanding and he'll play blitz again. Nice work!

... and Emil's blood pressure has reached biblical proportions!🤣🤣
In general, really have to agree with Magnus on most of these points. The punishment was extremely unreasonable for the crime. He was already fined for his attire, and he said he will change it for tomorrow. That should have been enough of a punishment for the minor crime here, anything more than that is abuse of power, or just complete lack of judgement.
This has been such a weird few days for me. I know who Magnus is but I don’t even remotely care about competitive chess haha but for some odd reason I’ve been glued to this story and have been watching each video this channel has posted about this topic.
You should watch some competitive chess... it might surprise you. It is an awesome sport of the mind and Magnus is arguably one of the best players to have ever lived. In the top 2 or 3 for sure. He plays chess way better than he publicly speaks.

I don't get why he even mentioned Anand. He's in the Chair of the "Appeals Committee", and Magnus didn't appeal. Why should Vishy Anand even intervene in a situation when you're refusing to "formally approach him" (for whatever reasons) yet going and whining to/about him verbally? He needs to grow up.
Agree. When magnus has not even appealed, he has no right to whine about Anand not qualified for the job. Can we say Magnus was emotional that he did not appeal 😊
Agree. Magnus comments on Vishy were uncalled for. #MagnusShouldApologizeToVishy

I was searching in comments for something related to Anand. Who the heck is that motherfucker Carlsen to just say stupid accusation and go unnoticed.

Fide themselves put the word "generally" in the regulations which by definition leaves room for subjective action by both the players and arbiters
Magnus lies. Fide says jeans not allowed. On a broachure were they explain the reasons of each rule it says jeans are NOT allowed in this tournament because jeans are generally not allowed in workplaces.
I noticed that too. The chess federation took a solid aim at their own foot with that one. And that chief arbiter, in his sorely misguided wisdom, confidently pulled the trigger on behalf of said federation... Thankfully, the president of the federation himself, finally woke up from his little nap(...) and sorted their mess out for them...
What an utter farse!
@@igbc176 That's not the full story either. The FIDE handbook's official dress code policy says jeans are allowed so long as there are no tears or holes. The handbook also says the World Rapid and Blitz Championships are regulated by this dress code. But then they put out that brochure excluding jeans completely for this tournament. Seems like it would be easy to get confused or make a mistake when there appears to be conflicting information.
@@Temptthedevil there is no conflict. This special event did not allow jeans period.

@@igbc176I think MC's point is that rule is silly to begin with.
7:57 the key point and what I've been saying about FIDE arbiter power tripping. Magnus is rich so $200 couldn't hurt him so they wanted to hurt him and banned a game, basically forcing Magnus to act out in principle. The dress code is not like bypassing security checks, taking back a move, gaining extra time, or anything unfair. The fact FIDE chose to NOT use discretion despite Magnus promising to fix it tomorrow (but they demanded TODAY). And then it was pettiness that $200 couldn't make Magnus feel pain so they went crazy and banned a game from him. FIDE arbiter failed discretion + power tripping.
Ridiculous! What they apply to lesser players they must apply to the best. This is a form of special pleading - McEnroe's doctrine which buggered up tennis for lesser players for a decade.
