60 players competed in the main A Tournament which had a format of 9-round Swiss event. Top French Grandmaster Etienne Bacrot was the first seed, while GM Joseph Sanchez of Philippines, Cannes winner in 2009 and 2011, attempted at defending the title.

Russian Grandmaster Evgeny Romanov scored a key last round victory against GM Sebastien Feller to finish clear first with 7.0 points, half a point ahead of the rest of the field.
