Conkers is a traditional British game that uses conkers--the fruits of a horse chestnut tree. They're inedible by humans, so Britons instead drill holes through them and attached a cord. Two players square off against each other, slamming their nuts together until the conker of one player ruptures.
The Associated Press reports that David Jakins may not have played fairly. Alastair Johnson-Ferguson complained that his nut disintegrated after a single blow by Jakins. He accuses the champion of using a steel prosthetic nut instead of a real one. Organizers found a steel nut in one of Jakins' pockets, but Jakins insists that he competed honestly.
