> [Carlsen] it became a point of principle

I think if anybody's to be commended for their principle it's probably the organisers? They have their dress code, he violated it, was warned, continued to violate it, and they enforced the rule despite his name.

In my experience "dress code" is very selectively enforced. Men are expected to wear very formal dress, that may limit their breathing and body cooling! While women get away with tshirts, sweat pants and flip flops!

This is sport event after all, and he is an athlete!

It is like asking female athletes to wear corset and long dress, because that was traditional dress in Victorian England!

Considering last year at the same event a female player was fined for wearing the wrong shoes I have to disagree with your claim.
