Belfish won the tournament, this was more or less expected.
Nightmare, Wasp and StockfishRB (Stockfish with HCE run by Ray Banks) ended on a shared second place.
Arasan, RubiChess and Viper ended on a shared third place.

Nightmare was a bit lucky in it's last game against Arasan, it got a very promising position from book with good attacking chances which was difficult to keep, this was more or less a book win.
