The fact that the three greatest chess players of all time of Magnus, Fischer, and Kasparov all have had major problems with the FIDE/chess is a sign that there needs to be more change

[freddygonzalez]

Michael Jordan was fined 5000 dollars for each game he wore his Jordan 1's, but he was never told he couldn't play. FIDE rules are stupid.

[annisa_alfarazdaq]

FIDE needs Magnus more than Magnus needs them anyway.

[neko-chan]

the punishment didn’t fit the violation. if dress code was so important then fide needs to do an inspection of everyone before they sit down to play. the players are in the middle of doing their job when the match starts. a dress code violation doesn’t effect the game.

My boy Levy didn’t even change his shirt before filming this video, he couldn’t wait to spill the tea with all the drama that happened today

[nycReaching]

wake up people: levy = levi = levi's jeans. this goes deeper than many realize

[lehieu]

Magnus is just sane version of Fisher, beat chess and doesn't give a frick about FIDE

[Jeyoy-vu]

i was wrong. chess is not a battle of minds. it's a battle of jeans.

[Lochhead]

Magnus has officially entered the Bobby Fisher stage of his career.

This situation is crazy. Magnus got a fine, he was fine with it, that should have been the end of it. Instead they went on a power trip and wanted to make an example of him by disqualifying him. It's like getting pulled over for a busted headlight and the cop giving you a ticket and then he says "you know what, you have to go down to the street to that mechanic and get it fixed otherwise I'll arrest you." You already got a fine, anything more would be an abuse of power.

there goes levy's december revenue

Honestly chess becoming less formal and stuffy is a great thing. At the end of the day it’s a game. It’s serious competition and should be treated as such, but so is football and people can manage to have fun with that. FIDE needs to change if they want the game to continue to prosper.

[Phresh]

The forfeit was unnecessarily harsh, he had already been fined and said he'll wear something else tomorrow, there was no need for this to escalate at all, really sad he pulled out

[Werenonymous]

Imagine every player came with Jeans tomorrow. Fide would be F'd. Magnus spoke the heart of the fans when he said F U

[Dillingham-]

This has little to do with pants. For months Magnus and his team have been negotiating with FIDE, with millions of dollars at stake. Now FIDE wants to publicly humiliate Magnus like a little child? As Hikaru said, this is all about power, and FIDE is about to lose theirs.

[Navzzzz]

The wikipedia page on FIDE is just a list of controversies.

Also let me add, this is outrageous, the world champion can't play because of a pair of jeans.
It wasn't like he was wearing a full fursuit or anything. A PAIR of jeans.

[MichaelODonovan-jkuf]

I don't know about New York, but in Los Angeles, a sport coat and jeans is literally formal wear.

[samhopson]

I can understand small punishments for not adhering to a dress code (fines, time penalty, etc.) or other small rules, but disqualification is overkill. FIDE is on a power trip, and everyone can see it

Magnus plays the Jeans Gambit Declined 😂
