Carlsen Takes Cheeky Jibe At Fide, Wins World Blitz Title | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

The chess world has been hit by a massive "Jeangate" controversy. Magnus Carlsen has added fuel to an already burning issue. The world number 1 returned to the World Blitz event after the massive fallout with FIDE over dress code violation. The Norwegian took a jibe at FIDE after coming late for his match wearing denim. Carlsen ended up sharing the winner's medal with Ian Nepomniachtchi. While Carlsen's win was a silent answer to FIDE, his war of words has started a battle with the governing body. Rupha Ramani examines how the Carlsen V FIDE battle is becoming one-sided with the governing body trying to please Carlsen and explores if FIDE is spineless.
