That's another thing again.. pride.. I wonder why some players just so full of them selves. This is something that a whole lot of people are coming from far and near to watch you play not just because of the bet, but because they love you. Instead of doing what you know is right, you quite the game for a reason that makes no sense. I wonder if he has always played that way since in other tournaments. Because if not, he wouldn't have done what he did when he was asked to change his jean. Well, that is more reasons why i don't bet on much games, I prefer soccer as we know they have standards and rules guiding them...

You can do all your analysis and make the right bets, yet even now, it's not the house edge working against you, but the player. Those who bet on Magnus Carlsen to win the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York must be very upset because the player decided to quit for the most unbelievable reason. No one saw this coming not even me.

Quote
World chess great Magnus Carlsen has quit a major tournament after being told he could not participate while wearing jeans.

The Norwegian was defending his  World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York on Friday when governing body FIDE made the request.

He said he offered to change his trousers for the following day before being fined and told he needed to change straight away.

Did any of bet on Magnus Carlsen to win? And what do you think about the whole situation that happened?
