Offer Carlsen’s jeans

Carlsen’s jeans achieved worldwide awareness during the Fide World Rapid Chess Championship last year in December. At that time, the tournament referee Carlsen approached and asked him to turn into a different trousers to adhere to the dress code of the tournament. Carlsen was first convicted with a fine of 200 US dollars, and when he was still refusing to switch between rounds, she was not paired to play the last round of the day. According to a heated argument with the organizers, the world number-one decided (and at that time Rapid World Champion) to lose the tournament.
