Nigel Short asking a player to remove a cap

Strategy: Other

Hi,

I am writing a defence of players seeking reassurances for fair play before and during matches. An example I remember is Nigel Short asking an arbiter to remove his opponent's cap during a match, as he suspected foul play. It's unfortunate I have to quote Short, but does anyone have a link to this incident?
