The tables below show the rating gains scored in each round in cross-table format and also the tournament ratings used, with a reference to the gains that were available to each player depending on their opponent in the event of a win (click on images to expand):
(subtract 10 for a draw, and subtract 20 for a loss)
The winner was determined by the player with the highest aggregate rating gain divided by games played, with a minimum requirement of 8 games.
Rating gains and losses were calculated using fixed tournament ratings, based on a player’s rapid rating as of May 2023 if they have a K-rating and standard rating otherwise. (A handful of players who didn’t have either were given provisional ratings for the purposes of the tournament.)
