He achieved the prestigious IM title in the Paracin Open tournament 2018 held from July 6 to 12 in Paracin of Serbia in Europe.

One of the country's best talents, R Raja Rithvik, studying Class X in Orchids International School, Jubilee Hills, got the prestigious title by crossing the required 2400 rating points in the Paracin Open. Entering the tournament with a live rating of 2,381, Rithvik achieved 28 points by defeating England Grandmaster Fernandez Howard and drawing the games with two other senior Grand Masters Atalik Suat of Turkey and Lorpariz Shahin of Iran.
