The defending champion took an early lead with four straight victories. Surprisingly, Vitaly then drew all remaining games, but it was enough to secure the title with 6.5\/9 points. The 2022 champion Jonny Hector finished a half point behind and took silver, while Erik Blomqvist captured bronze thanks in no small part to his spectacular penultimate-round victory over Tiger Hillarp.<\/p>
