Own a Piece of Chess History: Bid on Magnus Carlsen’s Famous Jeans and Support a Charitable Cause!

Title: Magnus Carlsen Auctions Famous Jeans for Charity

In a unique opportunity for chess enthusiasts and fashion collectors alike, Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen has announced the auction of the infamous pair of jeans that led to his forfeit at the FIDE World Rapid Championship in December 2024. The highest bidder will not only own a piece of chess history but also support the charitable cause of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The pair of jeans, which comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, gained worldwide attention during last year’s championship when Carlsen was asked to change into another pair to comply with the tournament’s dress code. After refusing to do so and subsequently forfeiting the tournament, the incident was covered by major media outlets, making Carlsen’s jeans the most famous piece of clothing in chess history.

The auction, which will run until March 1, will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters, an organization dedicated to helping children reach their full potential. The proceeds will support youth chess clinics, providing opportunities for young players to develop their skills and passion for the game.

All bids will be processed through eBay for Charity, ensuring a secure and transparent process for participants. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of Magnus Carlsen’s wardrobe, now is your chance to make it a reality while also contributing to a worthy cause.
