A: FIDE did not ban Magnus from the tournament. He was not paired in round 9. He can continue tomorrow. B: We gave Magnus more than enough time to change. But as he had stated himself in his interview - it became a matter of principle for him. C: Rules are applicable to all the participants, and it would be unfair towards all players who respected the dress-code, and those who were previously fined. D: The dress-code was known way before, and it was suggested by Athletes Commission, consisting of grandmasters. Said that, I am sorry for the situation that occured - FIDE was very welcoming to Magnus and his family, and we never wanted it to explode. However I fully back a decision of the Chief Arbiter Alex Holowczak.

🚨 MAGNUS CARLSEN IS UNPAIRED FOR ROUND 9 AFTER REFUSING TO CHANGE OUT OF HIS JEANS!
