In round 3 game 1 it currently seems the player who defeated Anand, Anton Kovalyov was forfeited.
Current 'speculations' say he was not allowed to enter the playing hall because of the dresscode??
Can anyone confirm this or knows the 'real' reason?

Confirmed: FIDE is idiotic
This is what you get for giving a podunk country like Georgia a FIDE tournament. Canada should withdraw from FIDE.Guenther wrote:Incredible! I think there is more to come...
