"I don't mind who I compete against, I only care about the game,"
"generational talent with no equivalent in any other sport"
"It's hard to say what is more remarkable - the fact that a 10-year-old is a top seed in a British chess championship, or that she strolls to victory by a huge margin, leaving three other England internationals in her wake,"
"She is doing her best, and we are supporting her."
Bodhana Sivanandan, a ten-year-old from Harrow, won the UK Women's Blitz Championship in Royal Leamington Spa with eight consecutive victories over older, more experienced players. The victory placed her among the top 50 women in the world for blitz chess. She became the youngest person to earn the Woman International Master title in August and represented England internationally at age nine, the youngest ever in any sport for the country. Bodhana aims to become the youngest grandmaster in history. Blitz chess games last no more than ten minutes per player.
