‘[…]Carlsen said: “I said I’ll change tomorrow … but they said you have to change now it became a matter of principle for me so here we are. […]’

I can’t even figure out what the principle was.

They fined/censored him. He accepted the consequence and said "ok, I'll change as soon as I'm back at my hotel." They then hit him with a second infraction, for still being out of dress code.

I'm not a chess dress code rules lawyer, but I think the principle here is that the judge was power tripping and hit him twice for a single dress code violation.

I'm sorry but now we surely have lost the meaning of the word censored. Now it means not getting to play chess in a tournament?

>>Pokemo+F8
Perhaps they meant censure instead of censor.

Yes, we have. That ship has sailed long ago.

But, in this context, specifically, the GP might have meant 'censured' instead of 'censored' and it was autocorrect or mental confusion.

>>astura+Ha
That makes more sense. Sorry about that.

Note especially that in many languages "censor" and "censure" are the same word.

>>chucks+8a
I did indeed.
