Hehe, no it was the last game of the last round anyway.
It reminds me on one Aegon-Tournament in The Hague, 96 or 97. Ingo Althöfer, who played with triple brain, caused a similar, but more effective foul. After finishing his game on the computers side, Ingo was about to plug off the third part of his bain, but catched the wrong plug. Ingo said "oups" and made an astonished face. A whole row with a lot of computers still playing was switched off and had to reboot afterwards, likely with some difficulties for some programs to continue and some actions for the arbiter :)
