World's No. 1 chess player says he'll return to tournament now that he'll be allowed to wear jeans

The world's No. 1 chess player says he will return to a major chess competition Monday now that the sport's governing body has agreed to relax its dress code and let him wear jeans.

The top chess player, Magnus Carlsen, quit the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships on Friday in New York where he was defending his title, according to BBC News.

The International Chess Federation then said it would relax its dress code to allow for "elegant minor deviations" from its official list of acceptable attire.

The 34-year-old Carslen says will continue to wear jeans when he plays.
