Dress code !

It seems that the participant of this Candidate event have their own taste in term of their appearance during play. For example in his 4th game against Bareev, Leko wear a full suite with tie where as Kamsky settle with a cap and round neck t-shirt in his 4th round against Gelfand!

Some may argue that they were ask by the organiser to wear the t-shirt but what about the cap?

In my opinion, FIDE should imposed a standard dressing code especially in serious and important tournament such as the Candidate. Sponsors may have their negative perception by looking improper attire by the professional players .
There is a questions asked to Gata Kamsky about the cap he wear during his match against Boris Gelfand . Read it http://globalchess.eu/main.php?id=71
