Teammates help the youngest player of the team Bodhana Sivanandan before the game 

I'm sameone like her, because I am an Indian kid living in the UK and playing chess here. Bodhana is very famous among English chess players. We all admire her achievements and call her "our chess superstar". Because she is so strong at a young age, many people are afraid to play with her. I once met her in person at a tournament and it was amazing how tiny she was. But over time she can be incredibly focused. I have never met a child at this age who could sit at the chessboard for the entire game and not get bored. She is hard-working, ambitious and would like to become a world champion someday. We are all so proud of her even if she loses sometimes. This is only the beginning of her journey, and she has already achieved more than 90% of the world's chess players will achieve in their entire lives. There is still so much left for our superstar to win.

All the mental energy being churned out in that one room could power NYC for a month. Go Bodhana.

Chess community is so wholesome ❤

Indian blood for England.... Indian blood in everywhere 😂❤❤

Aww did she write a little 'உ' at the top of the scoresheet before writing down the name. That is amazing, even though she lives in England and plays for them, her parents didn't forget to teach her Indian roots.

Bodhana is such a rockstar! All of 9 and already a force to reckon with !

Sensational debut at the Olympiad.

So cute and so smart at 9!!! You go girl 🎉 more power to you ❤

Sagar, you first interviewed her, and introduced her to the world. Six months later rest of the world started to take notice! Hope you will do one more deeper interview 1:1 this week! What a generational talent she is ❤

She is really cute. 😊 All the best to her.

you see the ash on the forehead. that is a Tamil Indian origin

Very nice of them to take care of the little gem ❤

She is rated higher than three of the players on the Peruvian team! Not to be underestimated.

She is so cute❤😂

Young and smart Indian

She may be the only chance to having a female 2700+ player in the next generation and maybe the first female world champion ever. When little hands can barely reach the board, a sharp mind already sees everything at a master level. It's the fourth board only this time. In two years she will be at first and then you won't even notice when her open team will also fight to get her to their first board.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, India Chess for all these interviews of new teams and teams of the people not from just Europe. We love you and your commentary 🇮🇳

Cute baby all the best ❤️❤️❤️

Adorable baby. Her mini uniform is the cutest thing in the world. However, in this tiny body, which does not even fully reach the chessboard, there is a great power of 2200 elo and in the future someone great in the world of chess.

Greatest Female chess talent since judit polgar

This is so cuteeeee ❤️

Lets Go BO 🥰

Next GM for England

She reminds me of Young Judit at Budapest chess Club !!

sweet little princes,

She needed a booster seat on that chair 🙂. And she is representing her country in the Olympiad! Amazing.

Must be very scary for her opponent

navigating through all that it feels like an exam hall

You are in the Olympiad, you hear boss music play, a small cute 8 year old kid comes and sits opposite you. You just resign because you know it is all over.

pls reduce the following on her too much so that she can focus and play her natural game and enjoy it. she is too tiny to be papped so much. let us allow her to flourish in the long run.

She is so calm at this age and superb. Sad to hear her own country proples being racist on her shameless of them.

Angrezo ke side se kheli bachhi. Ye to lagaan ka budhan (or whatever his name was) moment yaad dila degi jab India ke against hoga match.

Nine year girl 2100 and playing in Olympiad for good team like British huge achievement. Keep shining. We need more youngsters good competition rivalries for chess

So cute

Looking like a cute little hippo 💜

She should also get a foot rest. Having her feet dangling like that for an extended time is tiring and not good.

She was not ready for this Olympiad. The England chess Federation should have waited before she was ready for such tournaments. She is the weak link of England team. In five matches she has scored just 1.5 points. She has already lost 70 elo points in these five matches.

This is too cute

Vote for Satranj ka kamal 2.O after we win the Olympiad 🎉 And also Bewafa Samay 2.O

Did She win? Freeman.
