    Carlsen's dominance was evident as he accumulated 10 points in 13 rounds without a single defeat, comprising 7 wins and 6 draws. Russian chess player Vladimir Fedoseev, representing Slovenia, secured the second spot with 9.5 points, including 7 wins, 1 loss, and 5 draws. China's Yu Yangyi claimed the third position with 9 points, featuring 5 wins and 8 draws.

    Nodirbek Abdusattorov, a chess player from Uzbekistan, demonstrated commendable performance by scoring 9 points, securing the 11th position in the tournament.
