Can ' t you just copy the text ? <| sep |> Yes . He left before the press conference started . He also didn ' t have to wait any longer than he himself chose , by refusing to give interviews on his way to the press conference . This is the reason he showed up before Karjakin and even then , he didn ' t have to wait for long . It ' s not very important for me that Carlsen gets fined or anything , but as I read the stated rules , which Carslen signed , it ' s pretty clear he violated them . edit Forgot to add After Magnus left and before the conference started , both FIDE and manager Espen Agdestain tried to convince Magnus to return , and probably reminded him of the fine if he refused . So he got a second chance , which he didn ' t take . Yup , he should get a fine .
