The first game to finish (barely) was
Mamedyarov-Leko, a 4.f3 Nimzo-Indian. Mamedyarov

just what happened, but then Leko had the last

perpetual, returning the extra pawn by losing his
remaining c-pawn or keeping the pawn but giving
Leko's rooks free reign he chose door #1, and the
game ended on move 24....
