Erdogmus played great chess throughout the tournament and only suffered one loss to Magnus in the last round, and that only because of a mistake on move 50! What a fantastic young talent!! He finished in a tie for third with Abdusattarov. His live rating is 2713, good for 29th in the world.Comment

Abdusattarov got to play Magnus (the reason he entered the tournament) and after a tense draw he seemed to lose motivation.Comment

Jorden Van Foreest finished 5th with 3.5 and an equal score but a big scalp against Magnus, an amazing game.Comment
