FINAL Results in all sections, PDF | PGN for Endgame studies
A total of 279 problems and studies have been received.
During the claims stage, three problems were found to be unsound (one selfmate and two retros). In contrast, one study that was deemed to be unsound is now included in the award. One helpmate and one retro turned out to be partially anticipated. The awards have been adjusted by the judges accordingly. Also, there have been objections regarding the originality of the winner of the moremover section which the judge rejected as unjustified.

Notes: Two awards have not been translated into English. Given the availability of tools like DeepL and Google Translate, I consider a translation unnecessary.
