The third edition of the Valencia International Chess Open took place July 11-17, 2022, in Torrente, Spain. The event attracted more than 100 entries who fought for a total prize fund of 10.000 euros over 9 swiss rounds, with time control of 90 minutes for the entire game plus a 30-second increment starting on move one. 

GM Johan-Sebastian Christiansen scored 7.5 points to be the sole Winner of the event and win his fourth tournament in a row. Four players tied for second place scoring 7 points each, but tiebreak criteria favored IM Daniel Eduardo Pulvett Marin, a visually impaired chess player who won his third GM norm at the event. GM Vitaly Sivuk was third, while GM Yuri Solodovnichenko came fourth. (scroll down for final rankings)
