Magnus Carlsen has been kicked out of the Blitz and Rapid World Chress Championships for…wait for it…wearing jeans! It is fucking insane. FIDE’s rules are archaic and moronic. I would love to see all the other players wear jeans tomorrow in protest against FIDE.

Are Champions Chess and FIDE still managed separately? It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. The PDC split in darts illustrates that player power can lead to change, even over something as trivial as a pair of jeans.

FIDE is corrupted by russians. Arkady Dvorkovich, President of FIDE is a former russian politician who said that he was "sincerely proud of the courage of russian soldiers" and that russia had been targeted by "harsh and senseless sanctions". This morally bankrupt FIDE president must resign.
