Lip balm controversy
Rudolf attracted attention during the
Vandoeuvre Open in December 2007, where she defeated the top seedChristian Bauer , finished ninth and scored WGM and IM norms. [cite web |url=http://reports.chessdom.com/vandoeuvre-open | author=Marie Boyarchenko |title=Vandoeuvre Open |accessdate=2008-02-23 |date= |publisher=www.chessdom.com] Following her good results in the initial rounds of the tournament, three players — Oleg Krivonosov, Vladimir Lazarev and Ilmars Starostits — accused her of cheating, saying that a "secret internet connection was transmitting the best moves with the help of Anna'slip balm ".cite web |url=http://www.chessdom.com/news/anna-rudolf | author= |title=Ugly story at Vandoeuvre Open |accessdate=2008-02-23 |date= |publisher=www.chessdom.com] In the final round Rudolf had to play Starostits who refused to shake hands with her. After the tournament, the Hungarian Chess Federation protested against the "unethical behavior" of the three accusers and asked theFIDE Ethics Commission to examine the case.
