Pants or no pants, the game goes on

Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen returns to a tournament after a dispute over jeans is resolved

An official fined Carlsen $200 and asked him to change pants, but he refused and wasn’t paired for a ninth-round game, the federation said at the time. The organization noted that another grandmaster, Ian Nepomniachtchi, was fined earlier in the day for wearing sports shoes, changed and continued to play.
