minus-square@Chip_RatlinkEnglish2•2 months agoInteresting to see the responses from others who (I’m guessing) are actually into the chess stuff. I’m all for getting rid of dress codes and other unnecessary rules that do nothing,so for me, there is no losing. But I hate when people with power (because they are good at chess or have a shit ton of money) decide rules don’t apply to them. You sign up to be at a tournament, you signed up to wear dress pants. Sorry child. They probably wouldn’t have had the guts to actually dismiss him though, so again shrug
