Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed his shock at the International Chess Federation’s (FIDE) strict enforcement of the dress code, leading to Magnus Carlsen’s controversial disqualification from the World Rapid and Blitz Championship for wearing jeans. In a surprising statement, Lavrov compared the treatment of Carlsen to the more lenient dress code surrounding Ukrainian President Zelensky’s frequent appearance in military-style attire at international events. This has sparked debates on double standards and the politics of dress codes in global arenas. Watch the full story on this chess scandal and Lavrov’s bold remarks.
