Vandoeuvre Open 2007 controversy

Gathering support from two other participants, Krivonosov claimed that Anna Rudolf, who had been playing very well and had beaten the top seed Christian Bauer, was using a lip balm in her bag as a transmitter to receive the correct moves when she used the bathroom. The accusations however, did not prevent Anna Rudolf from finishing the tournament with a high enough score to obtain her IM and WGM norms. [6]
