World chess number one Magnus Carlsen has quit a major tournament after being told he could not carry on playing while wearing jeans.

The chess great had been defending his titles at the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York when officials made the request. The grandmaster said he had offered to change his trousers for the next day, but was fined and told he needed to change immediately.

The chess federation (FIDE) said its dress code regulations were designed to ensure fairness and professionalism for all participants

Carlsen is a high-profile figure in chess who has attracted some controversy in recent years. Last year, he settled a long-running legal dispute after accusing a rival of cheating in a tournament.

On Friday he pulled out of the championships for the short form versions of the game due to the dress altercation. Carlsen had been both the reigning Blitz and Rapid Chess champions.

He turned up wearing a shirt, blazer, dark jeans and dress shoes and played a few rounds before being asked to change. When his offer to change for the next day was refused, Carlsen said it then became a bit of a matter of principle for me.

Another player was fined on the same day before changing his shoes.

Honestly, I am too old at this point to care too much....
