World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen says he will play at the World Blitz Championship after initially quitting the chess tournament due to a dress code dispute with organizers.

In a video that's gone viral, Carlsen can be heard telling Nepomniachtchi that if “FIDE refuse (to allow us to share title), we can just play short draws until they give up.”

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) on Sunday relaxed its dress code for players after world number one Magnus Carlsen was fined for wearing jeans at an event in New York.
