Anya is remembered in Bermuda for her involvement in the only game ( I'm pretty sure ) in which two female players have faced each other on top board in the Open section of an Olympiad.

Crazy game. I remember our girl being rather cross at the end of it and can see why.

Instead of 27.Rxc1 White should have played: 27. Rf8+ Kd7 28. Qf7+ Qe7 29. Rxc1.
