World chess federation reacts to Carlsen's 'I am bigger than FIDE' reaction: 'It did not work for Fischer and Kasparov'

Referencing former champions Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, FIDE remarked that similar attitudes from past legends ultimately 'did not work' for them, signalling a sharp rebuke to Carlsen’s stance amid the ongoing freestyle chess controversy.
