BODHANA SIVANANDAN 🏴 MAKES CHESS HISTORY AT JUST 11! 👏👏
She has become the youngest girl ever to earn the International Master (IM) title, breaking a record previously held by chess legend Judit Polgar!
At just 11 years old, she also ranks as the 7th-youngest player in chess history to achieve the title!
An incredible milestone for one of England's most promising young chess talents!
