Carlsen returns: Blitzchach World Cup after Jeans Klat!

The chess world champion Magnus Carlsen causes excitement in the tournament calendar: after an outrageous incident at the high chess World Cup in New York, he first had to declare his retreat. The 34-year-old Norwegian appeared for the game in Jeans, which strictly violates the clothing regulations of the FIDE Weltschachverband. As a result, Carlsen was finished with a fine of $ 200 and got the ultimatum to change immediately. Despite this request, he refused what led to his disqualification for the ninth round. Disappointed, he expressed that he did not want to continue playing and rather travel to travel there, "where the weather is a little better than here", as it was cited by the Zeit . .

The return of the champion

Despite the initial frustration and the announcement to leave the tournament, Carlsen reported shortly afterwards and explained that he would continue to participate in the Blitzschach World Cup. "Long talk, short sense: I play in New York at least one day, and when I cut off well, even a day later," he announced on the chess platform "Take Take Take". The World Association FIDE reacted immediately and made it announced that one was looking forward to working with Carlsen, what followed after many conversations between him and the organizers, as was recorded in another report by the Krone . Carlsen's decision to play, but the anticipation of the upcoming games revives and could strongly influence the course of the tournament.
