'What is going on there?!' Anna had her eyes widened in surprise when she saw a commotion around board 1. Well, not a commotion, per se. More like that table was surrounded by some players, and it seemed that everyone wanted to have a look at Sheva's game. 'I wonder if something big happens…'
She was not the only one who thought that. Five more players seemed to be there as well, with Pragg and Predke being the most prominent ones. Poor the arbiter, he had to make sure that not a single one of them exchanged a single word or even communicated secretly.This was basically the rule that everyone knew asFIDE's attempt to prevent cheating on the spot.Not like anyone would be stupid enough to try in such an open situation, but better be safe than sorry.
Feeling curious, she couldn't help but approach that table, wondering if there was anything worth seeing.
