After a day’s rest, a new look and a new opening choice did not change Ian Nepomniachtchi’s fortunes.
His reputation of being prone to committing blunders in the least expected stage of a game came true as he crashed to another confidence-crushing loss in 39 moves.
Playing white, a desperate Nepo blundered on the 27th move with a pawn-push on the queen’s side and eventually lost a bishop to hand over champion Magnus Carlsen a third win in four games for a 6-3 lead in their World chess championship match in Dubai on Tuesday.
