I created this thread where I share how Magnus Carlsen, World No. 1 in chess quit the quit the chess tournament due to a dress code dispute with organizers. Well, this is an update on it and he returned to the championship and won. The International Chess Federation (FIDE) "bent" the rule on his behalf.

One of the most common response on previous thread was that any bets on Magnus was going to be treated as a void bet and refunds would be made. In this situation, it was just about 48 hours before Mangus returned to the championship. This leads to another question, how long does it typically take for refunds to reflect in user accounts in similar situations?
Going to depend on the site. A situation like this doesn't happen very often and is probably going to be a headache for users to get refunded. I expect that many support tickets from everyone who made a bet on the game will slow things down. You can read the full news here.

But in a statement on Sunday, FIDE president Dvorkovich said he regretted how the situation escalated.
“It is unfortunate that the implementation of dress-code rules, while being legally sound and consistent, has left some feeling this is disproportionate and caused the situation everyone would have preferred to avoid,” he said, before announcing changes to the rules for the upcoming blitz tournament.
