Disqualification from the FIDE Universiade tournament

On 27 and 28 March 2021, Yuliia Osmak won with a score of 4.5/5 in the final of the Women's Rapid section of the 1st FIDE World University Online Chess Championship, but her score was changed to 0/5, with Julia Antolak declared the winner. She was disqualified based on a statistical analysis of her five games from the final. The Fair Play Panel of the event say 20 players in total were disqualified but that they are not claiming "proof of actual cheating". Osmak has expressed a willingness to take a lie-detector test to dispute that verdict.[13]
