The ongoing feud between Magnus Carlsen and FIDE rages on and shows no signs of a thaw with Emil Sutovsky, the CEO of what is the governing body for the sport, taking a fresh dig at the Norwegian Grandmaster as well as the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour recently.
Sutovsky took to social networking platform X to air his grievances regarding the attires of top players during the prize ceremony of the Grenke Chess Freestyle Open in Karlsruhe, Germany.
World No 1 Carlsen was among the participants in the event that offered Freestyle Chess Tour points as well a spot in the upcoming Grand Slam event in Las Vegas in July. And he ended up
winning the event with a perfect score of 9/9.
