Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

Okay, good point. He didn’t exactly complain, he just left. But when he said “it’s a matter of principle”, the organization is just enforcing their rule. It comes off as him expecting special treatment.

I think you’re reading that into it. I don’t see “It’s a matter of principle” implying anything besides that staying would go against his principles. Oh well.
