This whole #MagnusCarlsen quitting the #RapidBlitz #Chess championship over wearing jeans awakened the cynic in me.

With him giving his side of the story to #TakeTakeTake and the #FreestyleChess tournament just around the corner (Feb 2025) I have to wonder if Magnus got more publicity than he would have from winning another #FIDE title.
