I'd of thought for Online and Live tournaments here, that clothing was optional.

Thanks for the visual, man.

My opponent could be naked for all I care. I'm busy looking at the board.
I've seen women players who burst out the bust thinking it is a distraction, but it rarely works, at least not on me. Seen plenty of 'em.
I would probably be distracted by that, but I wouldn't mind.
I say this i am not dressing with my shirt tucked in to play chess.....
like some punk. Not shaving, not buying a shirt, not buying slacks.....
None of that!
I came to play in what i feel comfortable wearing.....
I once attended a chess tournament in a nudist resort. There was no need for a dress code there!
I dunno, I think Topalov's suit would have had difficulty getting through (unless nudity was mandatory, in which case there was actually a dress code :P )
I think it could be successfully argued that Topalov's clothing violates the Geneva Convention....or any other rules of war, for that matter ;p
No, do sing, humm, or whistle. It distracts you opponent if they care to look at you in the beginning of the game. I bet Topolav's outfit was on purpose to distract his opponent.

If nudity was mandatory it would be an undress code!
Ever notice, though, that a lot of the people who are nudists really..........well, aren't people you'd want to see nude in the first place? Just askin'............

Oh man, sometimes I it is hard to come up with different stories and this one is by far the most crazy one I've read at chess.com. In case you care to know, I beleive your story. In a nudist resort I would be at the beach rather than looking at the squares. Cheers.
Ya know, I think the takeaway message here is "be clean." That, in itself, says volumes.........
