O elevă de 11 ani din Londra a devenit cea mai tânără "mare maestră" la șah din istorie

An 11-year-old chess player from London, Bodhana Sivanandan, has become the youngest female to achieve the title of 'grandmaster' at the 46th Chess Olympiad in Uzbekistan. She expressed her desire to continue making history in chess. Previously, she was the youngest champion in the UK and the youngest to represent England internationally. Sivanandan shared that she enjoys the travel and academic benefits chess brings. She made headlines in 2025 by defeating a 60-year-old grandmaster at just 10 years old, breaking a record. She started playing chess during the COVID pandemic after discovering a chessboard among toys.
