The one that got away from Saeid Sadeghi - A crowd gathered and Sadeghi was well under 5 min in the last 10-15
moves. He gave the GM enough tempos to let him escape with a draw but it looked like he was a goner.

A win for Black until 58 ... Rb4
58 ... Kc3 still wins in spite of the tempi lost before that.
After the game they analyzed 56.. Rxb2 (instead of the 56...Kxb2) but a win for Black was not seen
