Maintaining fashion standards (nb: hygiene is a separate issue) in an intellectual contest is so fucking stupid. Who decided jeans were less formal than khakis anyway?
Assholes trying to gatekeep the poors from their hobbies.

I could absolutely see a dresscode being enforced heavily if it was seen by the opponent during the match, then a choice of color or style could be done to mess with the opponent, but they sit at a table, the opponent can't see his pants, as long as the pants would be acceptable for an IT guy in an office, they should be acceptable here

Somehow I doubt a loud tie is banned. This is just arbitrary shit made up by petty tyrants.

What a blunder from the champ.
Edit: This is the most simultaneously upvoted and downvoted comment I have had on Lemmy. It appears that so far that more than half of voters either missed the “blunder” chess joke or they got the joke and audibly groaned. Understandable either way.
It's a bigger blunder for FIDE...they get headlines now that they kicked possibly the current most famous player in chess over a dress code violation that was not in the least distracting to other players.
He didn't show up in a T-shirt and jeans, he wore a blazer and a collared shirt.
They just look follish for digging their heels in
It sure does put FIDE in a bind.
Lol. I am getting down voted to hell for a cheesy chess pun.
