A draw in the final round of the Lake Sevan Tournament 2015 proved just enough for GM Duda Jan Kryzystof to clinch the title ahead of GM Anton Guijarro David. Going into the final game, GMs Duda and Anton led the table with 5.5 points each. However, an excellent display of dynamic chess by GM Vidit Gujrathi saw Anton go down in his crucial final round encounter against Vidit. This made it easy for Duda to clinch a clear first in this 9-round event with a final tally of 6 points.
The third spot, however, was shared by 3 GMs – Vidit Gujrathi, Ter-Sahakyan and Artemiev. The trio finished with a total of 5 points each.
