The legendary Norwegian player puts for sale, for beneficial purposes, the garment that prevented him from dressing in New York
The Norwegian Magnus Carlsen (34 years), legend of chess and current number 1 in the world, has put on sale on the Internet the jeans that forbade him in the World Championship of fast and lightning chess and lightning championship (blitz) that was held in the late last December in New York.
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) imposed a fine of 200 dollars and expelled the Norwegian player from the tournament, who refused to change clothes to appear in the game he had to play.
Furious, Carlsen left the World Cups. He did not participate in the fast chess mode, but then reconsidered and did it in the lightning. And proclaimed champion to the alimon with the Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi.
