The second place with half a point less was won by the Indian Grandmaster Aryan Chopra, and the third by the Israeli Grandmaster Evgeni Zanan. 

As many as five of our grandmasters found themselves on the between places 5-23 with 6.5 points: Aleksandar Inđić (11th), Velimir Ivić (13th), Luka Budisavljević (15th), Miloš Perunović (16th) and Ivan Ivanišević (21st). 

The most successful female chess player from Serbia was Teodora Injac with 5 points won and fulfilling the norm for a male international master. 

In the amateur group, Necmetin Korkmaz from Turkey won with 7.5 points, the same number as the second-placed Batulga Tenunbold from Mongolia.  Third with half a point less was the Russian chess player Kiril Shoshin. 

Three of our players had the same points as the third-placed Shoshin, but due to worse additional criteria, they were left without a medal.  Ilija Stanojević was seventh, Anđelko Dragojlović eighth, and Miloje Brajić ninth.
