FM FT Senthil Maran K, Vignesh B, Kunal M, Marthandan K U and 11-year-old Jake Shanty scored 7/8 each at 1st Xaverian Rating Open 2023. Senthil edged past the remaining four on tie-breaks to become champion and the rest secured second to fifth place according to tie-breaks. Apart from Jake, top four remained undefeated. The total prize fund of the tournament was ₹541000. The top three prizes were ₹75000, ₹50000 and ₹25000 along with a trophy each respectively. This was Senthil's first tournament triumph in almost 4.5 years.

Five players score 7/8

Kunal M was in a sole lead heading into the final round 6.5/7. A win would have made him a clear champion. However, he drew with FM Ritviz Parab. 15 players were in the title hunt at 6/7 each. Out of them, five players won their respective games. FM Senthil Maran K defeated the reigning Pondicherry District and State Blitz, and former World Amateur Below 2000 champion, Peter Anand to finish with 7/8 and win the tournament.
