DAMN: Anna-Maja Kazarian is anything but pleased to be fined for these shoes. Photo: Helge Tvedten / news Ivan Syrovy, chief referee in Fide, tells news that all the players must respect the “dress code” in the WC. – We don’t just want great parties, but also well-dressed people, among other things to show respect for the great venue we are in and for the WC, says Syrovy to news. According to the chief referee, Fide has experienced some trouble with the players appearing in – what they refer to as – sports shoes. – It doesn’t look very nice if someone plays with sports shoes. You can play football or run, but not play chess with sports shoes. That’s why they give me these cards, which means that you will be fined in the first place. You are still in the next round, so you get a chance to change clothes, he replies. – It can be difficult to understand what are sports shoes and what are not. Fide responds to the criticism When news confronts Syrovy that Kazarian has called the decision “ridiculous” and that she actually plays in Burberry shoes, he replies: – I don’t understand that it’s completely ridiculous, because the rules have been communicated well in advance . The dress codes in the WC in rapid and blitz chess have been debated on several occasions in previous years. The Dutchman Anish Giri was among those who on X paid great attention to the dress code for this year’s WC and asked that Fide should “clarify” what actually applied.
