GMs Hracek, Stripunsky, Kacheishvili and IMs Shankland and Barbosa (?) are tied for 1st with 6.5 points. According to various sources, only 4 are tied for 1st. However, according to my personal calculation, IM Barbosa also tied for 1st with 6.5 points. That makes it 5.
Needing a draw with the White pieces against GM Kacheishvili for a GM norm, IM Shankland lost.
IM Milman needed a win with the White pieces against GM Yudasin and he got it.
Molner needed a win against IM Ippolito to get his IM norm and he did not succeed. FM Harper needed a win against Ravichandran for an IM norm and he lost as well.
