Mohamed Salah incredibly has a secret identity playing online chess which he uses to double bluff fans he comes up against.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool star spends most of his time feinting and out foxing his opponents on the football pitch but he also hilariously revealed that he also has opponents on strings when playing online chess.<\/p>\n
As one of the world\u2019s most famous sports stars, many would use a different handle when playing online games so people don\u2019t know they\u2019re coming up against such a renowned name. However, in Salah\u2019s case, he has a different approach.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Liverpool\u2019s trip to Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, Salah said: \u201cI put my name and some other numbers so some people ask \u2018are you Mo Salah?\u2019, I say yes (but) they don\u2019t believe it. \u2018No, you are lying\u2019, I say \u2018yes I am lying!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Salah loves indulging in a bit of chess to unwind, playing at a score of 1400, with the Egyptian previously posting pictures of him playing against friends and even his young daughter on social media.<\/p>\n

Fans found Salah\u2019s tactic hilarious on social media, one fan labelled him \u201csavage\u201d with a second adding: \u201cImagine playing Salah at online chess!\u201d While a third pondered whether his chess skills actually improve his performance on the pitch, they said: \u201cSalah the chess freak\u2026. I reckon the ability to make plans, anticipate and analyse on the fly would mean there\u2019s a lot of crossover between creative footballers and chess."<\/p>\n
Salah has again made a brilliant start to the campaign with him already notching ten goals in 12 Premier League games going into the table topping clash at the Etihad against City.<\/p>\n
