Bodhana Sivanandan, a 10-year-old chess prodigy from London,<\/a> made headlines over the summer after she became the youngest female chess player to defeat a grandmaster. This week, Sivanandan reached another important milestone in her young career.<\/p>\n

The young talent, known as the “girl wonder,” defeated former women\u2019s world champion and grandmaster Mariya Muzychuk in the first round of the European Chess Club Cup,<\/a> hosted in Greece on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Experts called the stunning victory a “near-perfect game,” The Times<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Grandmaster David Howell took to social media to commend Sivanandan for her “incredible win.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not every day a 10-year-old defeats a [grandmaster] (and former world champion) in such style,” his post on X read.<\/p>\n

Sivanandan seemed quite pleased with her win, but told The Times she\u2019s looking for more victories.<\/p>\n

CHESS PRODIGY, 10, MAKES HISTORY AFTER DEFEATING 60-YEAR-OLD GRANDMASTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy to win, but hopefully I do even better in the future games \u2026 This will inspire me to keep doing better and trying harder to win more games,” she said.<\/p>\n

Sivanandan made history this summer when she defeated Grandmaster Peter Wells, 60, in the final round of the 2025 British Chess Championships in August. According to the International Chess Federation<\/a>, Sivanandan set the record previously held by American Carissa Yip, who set the record in 2019 at 10 years, 11 months and 20 days old.<\/p>\n

Sivanandan was 10 years, five months, and three days old when she defeated Wells.<\/p>\n

She has made a name for herself since first picking up the game during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, when she was just 5 years old.<\/p>\n
