GM Matthias Blübaum is the new European Chess Champion and now the only player to have won the title twice! He finished with 8.5/11 points, just like GM Frederik Svane in 2nd place and GM Maxim Rodhstein in 3rd place, but had the better tiebreak scores. The top 20 players who weren't already qualified have secured a spot in the FIDE World Cup.

GM Anna Muzychuk won the FIDE Women's Grand Prix Nicosia on better tiebreaks than GM Zhu Jiner! Both players drew their games in the final round.
