Nodirbek Abdusattorov won the Prague International Chess Festival Masters with six points from nine games. He was the only unbeaten player in the ten-person classical round-robin and claimed his second major title of the year.
Jorden Van Foreest had led much of the tournament after three consecutive victories in rounds three to five. The lead changed in round eight when Van Foreest lost to Aravindh Chithambaram and Abdusattorov defeated David Navara, before the eventual champion drew with Hans Niemann.
Parham Maghsoodloo, Aravindh and Van Foreest finished on five points, with Maghsoodloo and Aravindh taking the remaining podium places on tiebreaks. Václav Finěk won the Challengers, and Kaja Rzadkowska took the Futures title.
