Magnus Carlsen left the New York competition after he was told he had to change out of his jeans. Now, the International Chess Federation has relaxed its dress code rules to allow for "elegant deviations".

    And here I thought the whole point behind the competition was to play chess. Nothing says you think more highly of yourself than you should than to attach a dress code.

      I one changed teams in my company and went into my old office to help with an issue they had with the last thing I implemented. I walked in with shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops. I’ll never forget the look on their faces. That was quite the contrast to the suit and tie I had to wear before, because our team lead was a cunt.
