The open section turned into an exciting race between GMs Gleb Dudin and Tam\u00e1s B\u00e1nusz<\/strong>. Dudin seized the lead early, but B\u00e1nusz caught up after Round 6. Their direct clash in the next round ended in a draw, and the two preserved their shared lead. Dudin pulled ahead in the penultimate round by defeating \u00c1goston Juh\u00e1sz, while his main rival could only draw.<\/p>

Trailing Dudin by half a point going into the final round, both B\u00e1nusz and top seed Benjamin Gledura<\/strong> (who finished strongly) were held to draws. Dudin, meanwhile, achieved a much better position against Sergey Grigoriants but decided to play it safe, settling for a draw to secure the title with a score of 6.5\/9.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
