Time trouble blunder! GM Salem Saleh vs GM Hans Moke Niemann | Sheikh Hamdan Cup Blitz Chess | Dubai

It’s never over until it’s over. GM Hans Moke Niemann seemed to have the game in the bag, but GM Salem Saleh had one final ace up his sleeve to turn the tables on his unsuspecting American opponent. The two players were the only ones who had a perfect three points when they met in the fourth round of the Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Cup blitz event. Interestingly, both suffered back-to-back losses following this game. But while Saleh rebounded strongly by scoring 4.5/5 to win the tournament, Niemann was unable to recover from three straight setbacks and was never in serious contention for a podium finish despite going 3-0 to start the tournament. The Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Cup was a 24-player event that featured a three-day rapid tournament and a one-day blitz tournament. It was held at the same venue where Magnus Carlsen defended his title against Ian Nepomniachtchi at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo 2020 Dubai. ---------------------- You can also follow Dubai Chess Club on: Instagram:   / dubaichess   Twitter:   / dubaichess   Facebook:   / dubaichess   Web: https://dubaichess.ae/
