Magnus Carlsen Returns To Blitz Worlds After Fide Allows Jeans
World number one Magnus Carlsen will return to the World Blitz Chess Championship here following FIDE's decision to allow players to compete in jeans, a couple of days after disqualifying him from the Rapid event for refusing to change into formal trousers. The five-time world champion was fined USD 200 for wearing jeans, which was "explicitly prohibited" under the original tournament regulations. The Norwegian was also disqualified from after he refused to change his attire by chief arbiter Alex Holowczak ahead of the ninth round.
