Judit Polgar, Viktor Bologan, Vladimir Malakhov, David Navara and the last Chinese players, Li Chao and Wang Yue, who were forfeited in game 2 tiebreak, for showing up too late and the games had already started, a terrible mistake on their fault, the rumor is they were outside smoking and just missed the start of the games, goes to show smoking may affect your chess earnings as well! I just hope they aren't sanctioned in any way by the Chinese Chess Federation (Government).
