In a tournament with a high drawing rate (76%), Harikrishna won three games and lost none, ending up with a 2717 performance. Efimenko on the other hand won only one game against Acs and drew all the rest, ending up with a performance of 2655, 23 points above his nominal FIDE rating.
Third and fourth places were shared by Wang Yue of China and Zoltan Almasi of Hungary, while the two other Hungarians, Ferenc Berkes and Peter Acs completed the bottom of the table.

It commemorates the famous physicist György Marx and took place for the fourth time this year from the 28th of July until the 7th of August in Paks, Hungary.
