Carlsen Returns To World Blitz Tournament, Abuses Fide For Denim Row |First Sports With Rupha Ramani

World number 1 Magnus Carlsen and chess' governing body FIDE are at loggerheads. The Norwegian abused FIDE after the governing body imposed a $200 fine for wearing denim. Carlsen boycotted the World Rapid Tournament after an ugly spat with Fide. Following Fide's "relaxation" in rules, Carlsen returned to the World Blitz event. This isn't the first time FIDE has faced heat for their strict rules. Rupha Ramani looks at how Fide's "orthodox" dress code has upset prominent names in the chess world and explores if the governing body is making the sport regressive.
