EDIT: I'm an idiot and after having read about Carlsen bailing on the tournament yesterday, this morning I wronglyfully assumed he gave in to get back into the tournament (especially with the quoted passage here in the comments about the other guy who changed his shoes, which made me assume wrongly). Anyway, I'm wrong, stop upvoting me. I'm really glad to hear that they changed the rules, which is the opposite of what I expected, obviously. See, this is what happens when you don't read the whole article!
~~I'm honestly with Carlsen on this and think it's a bad thing he gave in.~~
~~I'm a poor dirtbag,but if I was good at chess, I would think it was a farce if I was forced to buy a whole fucking outfit just to go play a chess tournament, and having these people have the audacity to fine me for being too poor to afford the appropriate clothing is just the fucking cherry on top.~~
~~The whole thing sounds really fucking classist. What's the problem with wearing jeans, a hoodie and chuck taylors? I don't see how the way you're dressed impacts your ability to play chess. This is dumb as living fuck and classist as fuck.~~
The headline is a little ambiguous, but he didn't give in; they relaxed the dress code.
