Youngest Woman Grandmaster’: 11-year-old British-Indian chess prodigy Bodhana Sivanandan gets Guinness record
British-Indian chess prodigy Bodhana Sivanandan has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the youngest female to earn the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) title at the age of 11. This achievement, made at the 46th Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, adds to her three Guinness World Records titles, including her previous records for being the youngest Woman International Master and the youngest female player to defeat a grandmaster.
Despite these accolades, Bodhana's family and coaches have been instrumental in her success, with her father originally introducing her to chess at the age of five.
