Winner on tie-break: Markus Ragger

The best non-GM was the young German IM Jan-Christian Schröder. He won against grandmasters Laurent Fressinet and Mihail Marin and with a nice win against Julian Kramer in the final round Schröder secured a GM-norm.
The brilliancy-prize went to Norwegian GM Jon Ludvig Hammer:
With 8.0/10 Hammer was part of the leading ten and finished third on tie-break.
The Swedish IM Axel Smith also scored a GM-norm.
Axel Smith
GM Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu became second.
Nisipeanu became second in Helsingor but in the rating list from August 2015 Nisipeanu is Germany's new number one. Since April 2014 the grandmaster, who has a German mother and a Romanian father, plays for Germany. In July 2015 Arkadij Naiditsch, for a long time Germany's number one, decided to change federations and play for Azerbaijan. Germany now no longer has a +2700 player and Nisipeanu, who in 1999 made it to the semifinals of the FIDE World Championships in Las Vegas and became European Champion in 2005, is the new number one.
French GM Laurent Fressinet finished fourth.
ChessBase-Autor Mihail Marin scored 8.0/10 and finished equal first.
With 7.5/10 GM Gawain Jones had only half a point less than the leaders but 19th on tie-break.
