  GrahamClayton: Doug Eckert's participation in the 2009 US Championship came about in an unusual way. Anna Zatonskih became ill, and Eckert substituted for her for the remainder of the tournament:

Have there been any other examples of a player withdrawing from a national championship or international tournament after the start, and being replaced by another player?
