Similarly, is a stupid rule about the type of fabric of a players pants really the hill to die on enforcement-wise? Discretion is a thing. Jeans has NOTHING to do with playing chess.

Especially when others are wearing chinos that look like jeans.

Discretion should be a thing.

This being a thing at all certainly proves Magnus’ point. Its not 1970.
