FIDE has updated dress code for Grand Swiss tournament, allowing players to wear "appropriate jeans" (non-distressed jeans). This comes months after Magnus Carlsen was penalised for wearing jeans at Rapid and Blitz Championships. "This change offers players more comfort and freedom of choice, while ensuring that the overall appearance of the event remains professional and respectful," FIDE stated.
