A 14-year-old player from Belgium-Nils Nijs (photo left) had drawn his game in the penultimate round after a threefold repetition. At 23.00 hours at night, he was summoned by the official to continue the game-in midnight because he had wrongly claimed his draw in that afternoon in his game against Mai Lloyd from Canada. They were asked to played a new game the same midnight . The result-Nijs lost.
