After losing the first two rounds against the world top six including Levon Aronian and Alireza Firouzja, Liem finally got his first win. Duda, the 2021 FIDE World Cup champion, let Liem claim victory in two games and only managed a draw. In the first game, Liem played white and lost a pawn in mid game.
