Magnus intentionally broke this stupid regulation knowing full well what would happen. He knows people are gullible and take his side. Now people will talk about jeansgate rather than his very poor performance. Its so cheap and easy to see what he is doing and you are falling for it.
Let’s figure out the Mystery of Magnus The Diva. The Deep Dive. They gave Magnus 2 rounds to change, he didn’t. Would it not be belittling to Nepo, if he was to change but not Magnus? But why the drama to quit? 1. Magnus made some bold claims in the take take take video on his top rivals. He basically reiterated that he had no clear rivals besides Alireza and Hikaru. He’s also been piling on classical for being a bad format that lets weaker players cover up their weaknesses through huge time to apply theory cramming. But in this short time control tournament he drew against 2500s, and lost to lazavik (definitely not a regular 2500 like Magnus’s other opponents). So after round 8, and being at 5 points, Magnus was very low down the rankings and most likely would not have won or perhaps even finished top third if he continued with this whole tournament. So to avoid his ego getting hurt, and having to eat his words before the tournament, the diva decided to snatch the spotlight and perhaps make this seem like he’s fighting against the Soviet Union military on his own. Now all the casuals with his dna trace at the back of their throats will say the world rapid and blitz champions are not legitimate, ignoring Magnus’s terrible show in the tournament. 2. Magnus wants to be remembered in legend status like Fischer and Kasparov. Forget their strength and accolades, these two not Ono pushed forward chess theory but also had myths around them. Magnus wants to be known more than just Norwegian Rain Man with a sheltered upper middle class childhood and mostly just reduced to e-celeb athlete in modern safe and cushy times. So when he realised 2900 rating wasn’t possible because of overall rating deflation, and chess theory is saturated plus Magnus was never a theory innovator, so he felt a bit lost on how to go forward. Fischer went crazy and a fugitive. Kasparov went against the soviet political machine, and later tried to run for Russia president. But Magnus is like a grown child insanely good at chess, but otherwise pretty normal. No mythical stature. He even wondered how to explore options around chess. When nothing much seemed clear, he decided to pick a fight with fide and promote freestyle chess to have his Kasparov moment of breaking away and having two separate chess divisions. Hence the little childish tantrum like rebellion against fide, backed up by streamers having more clout in chess now and they’re all his minions. 3. For everyone saying, “it’s jUst jEaNz tho”. What is chess at its core as an industry? It’s a spectacle. It sustains itself monetarily and otherwise because of viewership (online, or live tickets, and sponsorships predicated on that viewership). In that regard it is no different at its core business principle than onlyfans, trashy comedians, and other entertainment content. The reason everyone values it is because players devote their lives to developing super human cognitive skill at it? Why? Because they and us fans view chess as something important, prestigious, and serious. Now if dress codes don’t matter at an important event like the literal historical world championship title of rapid and blitz, then doesn’t all this just become casual spectacle? The only reason we respect chess super gms more than content creators and influencers (despite the latter being richer) is because we realise that all this official chess field has gravitas. Without that very gravitas, no one would care about Magnus being the best chess player. He’d be just like some Acoustic Kid genius at the spelling bee contest. It’s because centuries of prestige and respect and seriousness has been developed and preserved for this game of chess, is someone like Magnus able to strut around like “Oh I’m quirky, not like these other nerds. I’m a cool acoustic board game genius!!” So cut the bull and stop glazing Magnus so much. He already has a girlfriend

Really glad you are speaking out. A huge thank you for making these recaps after a tough day. Your recaps make chess exciting, fun and accessible.
Nah, Magnus had found an excuse to quit after dreadful first day, same as he did at Saint Louis after losing to Niemann. Childish behavior. He could have simply complied with the rules after getting warned, but instead knowingly went for it.
@@allykid4720"knowingly went for it" it's not as if he has a button that changes his trousers at will, he's first of all been fined for violating dress code, and he's accepted that, that should be the end of the matter, but then they've turned around, obviously hoping he'd protest, and said "actually, you have to change now to continue playing" - that means that heading into a must win game, he can't sit and compose himself, he's expected to find some way of traveling back to his hotel, get to his room, change and make it back to the venue before the round starts - that's a ridiculous request. The rule is supposed to keep players presentable at the event - Magnus isn't taking the mick, he's dressed smartly apart from his jeans, it's an honest mistake - should he be fined? Yes, if he does it again should things be escalated? Yes, but should be immediately disqualified for such a minor breach? I think we can all agree that he shouldn't, and giving him the ultimatum of that or undergo a stressful traveling experience and risk being late for a must win round doesn't relinquish your responsibility for disqualifying him. Had he shown up tomorrow in jeans, totally different situation, but the way they reacted strongly suggests that it's not a matter of integrity, but a matter of trying to get a rise out of Magnus and find justification to make a statement by punishing him
@joelmacinnes2391 that's not true at all. Nepo and Mag both were fined and warned at day 1 to dress properly for the next day. Nepo complied and paid the fine of $200, Magnus didn't. He had more than enough time to get dressed properly for the next day, but chose not to do so. So he got what he wanted - to be disqualified for good. Everyone is stressed there - that's not an excuse for Magnus. There was no immediate disqual: otherwise Nepo would have been thrown out too.
Fide has just been targeting magnus lately. Other players also wore attire that was not according to the rules yet the dresscode was only enforced on a select few.
@ what part of my statement is not true the fact that others wore clothes that weren’t allowed or the fact that magnus almost wasn’t allowed to play the event due to hos new organisation called freestyle chess.
@KnightToRemember Dude have you watched any X lately? There are literally hundreds of pictures of other players wearing Magnus-style in the same event..
As much as I'd like to agree it just won't. Look at the RAMPANT corruption in FIFA. Has that ever derailed them? No. There's no competing body with the history of money of FIDE. At worst it's 2 days of bad press before we all move on.
If there is a rule, it needs to be followed like Ian did. I can understand you don't agree with the rule but then get it changed before tournament itself. You cant suddenly choose not to follow the rules while you were following it in earlier tournaments. I think it is a lot to do with Magnus's performance in the rapid's. He followed it earlier and never did it. Its more of ego that how can you be this strict with me. Even i dont agree the formal rules but you raise it earlier not just when applied to you.
@@swetankawasthi7088 I agree with your take. Also would like to add that I smell business here in all this chaos. With Magnus partnering or starting Take Take Take and Freestyle chess, maybe he was just doing it to divide the industry thereby getting more attention on him and his firms. A potential PR stunt.
@gianlucaciocia83 He agreed to the rule when he registered, the rule said fine for a first round in violation then excluded from the round for each round thereafter. If anything they gave him two rounds for free.
Hikaru, please just agree to a battle royale with Magnus during the last few days of rapid/blitz. Everyone would love it. Everyone would watch it. And it would be freaking awesome!
I am so disappointed FIDE decided to practically ban Magnus. If he had turned up for the following game after the forfeited round in jeans the punishment would have been the same or worse so essentially he was expelled. He was put against a wall and clearly decided to not back down. I won't be watching FIDE tournaments any longer but will continue to tune in for Hikarus recaps/streams and support. What a great travesty in our era that we cant see top players enjoy the game of chess without politics.
Finally understand how women feel. This kind of behavior is absolutely normal in and outside chess for anyone that isn't a white man. Minus the part where Magnus gets to say FU, because no woman or immigrant would ever get away with that
@@assaqwwqoh women's choice of clothing is way different than men. If the rules are not to wear revealing clothing you take it as discrimination and oppression...

thx for sharing your thoughts on your loss against Murzin. It is even more interesting to hear thoughts after losing than after winning. Good luck today 🍀
Why would FIDE ban flat shoes, there is nothing wrong with them 😂😂😂 I think the more pertinent question is why does sexism and elitism still exist for a sport that is purely cerebral. And the follow-up question, why do white men with money get to decide how the rest of the planet should behave and why only once you yourself have become a rich white man can you say FU to the others. But sure, jeans are the reason we're having this discussion
Everybody was aware of the dresscode which is there from 2018. Magnus was given enough time to change his dress. And he was barred from playing only one or two rounds in rapid. It is totally Carlsen's decision to not to play anymore at all. It is a matter of ego or perhaps Magnus is not very serious about chess anymore.
Top players are bigger than FIDE by a lot. Maybe 10/15 years ago they were not, but now, they are. If Magnus, Hikaru and other top players come together and decide they are not taking this BS anymore FIDE is DONE.
Yeah, someone should tell Magnus to stop acting like Hans. It's not like Hans got blacklisted because he was rude to Magnus, and everyone told him to sit down and shut up. 😂😂😂 The turntables have ... Well, maybe now women will be allowed to show up in normal clothes, but probably not
I do not agree with what Magnus did as he did know the rules before he entered the tournament. That said, I do think that FIDE is too big and too bureaucratic and needs to be less involved. Maybe chess players can look at how other board games are organized (for example go). In go, there is an international go federation that helps to promote the game internationally among amateurs. For professional go players, the tournament sponsor has lots of power on should to be invited and what are the playing conditions are. For example. if the sponsor is a Korean company, then maybe 40% the players invited will be Korea and the sponsor can decide how many players are invited from China (say 25%, Japan (15%), others (20%). The sponsor can talk to the Korean national go association who can help the sponsor out with tournament organization (including contacting non-Korean go associations)
I was watching the live stream and I couldn't beleive Hikaru played last three moves so bad, it's hard to understand. Anyway, I hope you smash tomorrow's games and get to the top!
It takes a strong will to recap a painful loss at the last round. Not many would have the strength to do it💪 Good luck tomorrow you got a shot to win it all👍🏻
Such a stupid regulation. Why would they try to keep chess „professional“ by clothing and not by an actually good organized tournament?
Some discussion on that matter: ua-cam.com/video/E5PfIkmJ_Vk/v-deo.html
Especially when magnus still looked sharp, not like he looked like a slob, so this is a letter vs spirit of the law issue as well.
Because they are elitists , and don't care about the game of chess as much as they care about a show of non existant power lmao ./
Magnus intentionally broke this stupid regulation knowing full well what would happen. He knows people are gullible and take his side. Now people will talk about jeansgate rather than his very poor performance. Its so cheap and easy to see what he is doing and you are falling for it.
Let’s figure out the Mystery of Magnus The Diva. The Deep Dive.
They gave Magnus 2 rounds to change, he didn’t. Would it not be belittling to Nepo, if he was to change but not Magnus?
But why the drama to quit?
1. Magnus made some bold claims in the take take take video on his top rivals. He basically reiterated that he had no clear rivals besides Alireza and Hikaru. He’s also been piling on classical for being a bad format that lets weaker players cover up their weaknesses through huge time to apply theory cramming. But in this short time control tournament he drew against 2500s, and lost to lazavik (definitely not a regular 2500 like Magnus’s other opponents).
So after round 8, and being at 5 points, Magnus was very low down the rankings and most likely would not have won or perhaps even finished top third if he continued with this whole tournament. So to avoid his ego getting hurt, and having to eat his words before the tournament, the diva decided to snatch the spotlight and perhaps make this seem like he’s fighting against the Soviet Union military on his own. Now all the casuals with his dna trace at the back of their throats will say the world rapid and blitz champions are not legitimate, ignoring Magnus’s terrible show in the tournament.
2. Magnus wants to be remembered in legend status like Fischer and Kasparov. Forget their strength and accolades, these two not Ono pushed forward chess theory but also had myths around them. Magnus wants to be known more than just Norwegian Rain Man with a sheltered upper middle class childhood and mostly just reduced to e-celeb athlete in modern safe and cushy times. So when he realised 2900 rating wasn’t possible because of overall rating deflation, and chess theory is saturated plus Magnus was never a theory innovator, so he felt a bit lost on how to go forward. Fischer went crazy and a fugitive. Kasparov went against the soviet political machine, and later tried to run for Russia president. But Magnus is like a grown child insanely good at chess, but otherwise pretty normal. No mythical stature. He even wondered how to explore options around chess. When nothing much seemed clear, he decided to pick a fight with fide and promote freestyle chess to have his Kasparov moment of breaking away and having two separate chess divisions. Hence the little childish tantrum like rebellion against fide, backed up by streamers having more clout in chess now and they’re all his minions.
3. For everyone saying, “it’s jUst jEaNz tho”. What is chess at its core as an industry? It’s a spectacle. It sustains itself monetarily and otherwise because of viewership (online, or live tickets, and sponsorships predicated on that viewership).

You and Magnus are my favorite players, please wear jeans tomorrow. You are legend !
If u don’t like the rules don’t sign the contract 😂FIFA and FIDE using the power
Hikaru, can you and Magnus make your own FIDE?
Magnus is out, time for you to finally win and have atleast one world championship under your belt!
5 b
He won the 960 world championship in '22
He is the 960 World Champion
Wear pineapple t-shirt tomorrow 😂
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY
Love shankland but he gotta work in his puzzle rush
If chess players are brave enough they could all wear jeans next day
I was watching the live stream and I couldn't beleive Hikaru played last three moves so bad, it's hard to understand. Anyway, I hope you smash tomorrow's games and get to the top!
Cheering you on Hikaru!
I loaded this video an hour ago so it says 17 seconds ago still
Why did you feel like sharing that?
Dress code? What is this, golf?!?
Well played Hikaru 😊
Do the big chess players really need FIDE, or do FIDE need the big players?
Hikaru in jeans tomorrow please.
It takes a strong will to recap a painful loss at the last round. Not many would have the strength to do it💪
Good luck tomorrow you got a shot to win it all👍🏻
Play like a goat, talk like a goat, dress like a goat.
Weird choice of words. “Fellow American compatriot”
