Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
EDIT: I'm an idiot and after having read about Carlsen bailing on the tournament yesterday, this morning I wronglyfully assumed he gave in to get back into the tournament (especially with the quoted passage here in the comments about the other guy who changed his shoes, which made me assume wrongly). Anyway, I'm wrong, stop upvoting me. I'm really glad to hear that they changed the rules, which is the opposite of what I expected, obviously. See, this is what happens when you don't read the whole article!
~~I'm honestly with Carlsen on this and think it's a bad thing he gave in.~~
~~I'm a poor dirtbag,but if I was good at chess, I would think it was a farce if I was forced to buy a whole fucking outfit just to go play a chess tournament, and having these people have the audacity to fine me for being too poor to afford the appropriate clothing is just the fucking cherry on top.~~
~~The whole thing sounds really fucking classist. What's the problem with wearing jeans, a hoodie and chuck taylors? I don't see how the way you're dressed impacts your ability to play chess. This is dumb as living fuck and classist as fuck.~~
The headline is a little ambiguous, but he didn't give in; they relaxed the dress code.
I’m confused. Carlsen didn’t give in. They changed the rules (surprisingly quickly, IMHO) to accommodate him.
No, clearly I was the one who was confused.
It happens to the best of us. Thanks!
you might not like this, but i’m going to upvote you for admitting that you were wrong about something
