Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen says he'll play in the World Blitz Championship on Monday .

The Norwegian grandmaster was fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans.

The chess federation said Friday that longstanding rules prohibit jeans at the Rapid World Championship , which is separate from but held in conjunction with the blitz event.

Carlsen has said he offered to wear something else the next day but officials were unyielding.
