World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen says he will play at the World Blitz Championship after initially quitting the chess tournament due to a dress code dispute with organizers.

The player’s shock withdrawal prompted the International Chess Federation to relax a dress code that penalized him for wearing jeans to a New York tournament.

Defending World Rapid and Blitz Champion Magnus Carlsen has been disqualified from the World Rapid Chess Championship in Round 9 due to a dress code violation (jeans) and previous warning.
