by Shahid Ahmed - 23/11/2022

Top seed of the tournament IM Muthaiah Al, Saranya Y and FM Karthik Rajaa scored 8/9 each. Muthaiah clinched Tirumala Tirupati Rapid Rating Open 2022 due to better tie-breaks. Saranya and Karthik were adjudged second and third. Both Muthaiah and Karthik remained undefeated. The total prize fund of the tournament was ₹500000. The top three prizes were ₹35000, ₹21000 and ₹15000 each. A total of 226 players took part in this event. This was Muthaiah's first Rapid Rating Open triumph of the year, second overall.
