This 8 year old girl is making history. 

8 year old: 32 games, 32 wins Kramnik: very interesting…

"you play like an 8 year old girl" can never be used as an insult anymore...

8 sounds super young, but when you think about what that actually means it's unreal. At 7 I was still learning how to read lol, meanwhile she's doing simuls. I hope she sticks with chess, excited to see where she gets with it

gotham never fails to talk about kids that are better than him

Bodhana is simply the future of women's english chess. I was playing in 4ncl when she was sitting at the board infront of me in division 1, destroying a WIM while she is in a BOOSTER SEAT. Truly a prodigy

Stories like these inspire me and give me hope for our future. I was once in a tournament back when I was rated around 2000 and I was absolutely destroyed by a 9 year old asian boy. It was a brilliant battle and I gave him all I could but he made it look so easy. I was so impressed and thanked him. Kids are incredible.

An 8 year old girl drew a grandmaster... 👏👏👏

I guess she bought all your courses, you didn’t plug them so I had to

DON’T LET THE WORLD KILL HER INTEREST AND PROGRESSION PLEASE!

Really nice to see videos featuring some of the chess players who might be big names in a few years, would love to see more of these

i actually saw her in person at the world cadets championships- her chess is terrifying and astonishing at the same time

I believe I read she also broke the record for most FIDE points gained in a single competition. Something around 300-350 points. Was a blitz tournament facing mainly WIM and WGM players. Absolutely amazing

More videos on this girl as she progresses, please. I think she was the highest ranked seven year old, ever.

It was so lovely hearing positive chess news on non-chess TV for once. I hope she continues to grow and achieve!

Certainly a rising star in the Chess world. I just hope Bodhana doesn't believe all the hype about herself as she grows older and more experienced. That way she will cope with the fame and recognition at such a young age.

Ooooh that photo of the girl and the old man is just magic.

love that you’re covering Bodhana, the next big thing!!

Love the positivity and encouragement of this young girl

I hope all this attention doesn't weight on her too much. Having so many eyes from all over the world looking at her is very stressful even for an adult

Levy never fails to let us know who will be wrecking Magnus in five years time

awesome seeing her taking headlines at a young age. Can't wait to see Levy show more of her games

Finally a contender for Magnus

awesome! looking forward to follow ups on this young master

Wow! Really enjoyed this. You know, a series covering the up and coming kids would be a fantastic addition. "Big Kids", like "Guess the Elo", as a theme (?) would be great. We know the top players are great, but showing who is up and coming .... and explaining why ... that would be cool. It is less cool when done after the fact, after all.

I am very honored to know like 10 people that played in this tournament, i gotta ask them if they played against this girl

She's now ready for chessboxing

I think bodhana is just feeling honoured and proud because she got to be featured in a gotham chess video.

Ladies and Gentlemen , we are officiallly witnessing Beth Harmon IRL

You know its serious when levy doesn't stare at us

Love to see this. Please let her develop.

I was intorduced to her when she had a conversation and played against the older GM. She can play aggressive without risking too many fundamental chess ideas in the process. Dangerous.

Levi : finally a worthy oponent Our battle will be legendary

Levy: “being good at chess doesn’t mean you are smart” Levy’s thumbnail: “200 IQ”

2:13 yes, she beat the England women’s team coach Lorin D’Costa. Very strange end because D’Costa was in a winning position (2 pawns and a knight vs just a bishop). D’Costa flagged and somehow there was a legal checkmate still possible for Sivanandan (don’t ask me how 😂) so the arbiter awarded her the win. She is a remarkable kid and as long as she continues to enjoy chess the sky really is the limit.

Loved your genuine enthusiasm. Rock on, Levy. Rock on.

Really hope she holds on to a love of the game.

8 year olds never fail to break World Records!

Also participated, did very well in the Rapid Section but had a horrible day in the Blitz. I am a 2450 IM and she finished ahead of me. Yes, I was in very bad shape, but nevertheless my performance was 2200 and that is said to be unthinkable for 8 year olds. I will be watching her career with great interest!

Love prodigy highlights. Would be cool to maybe do an annual "where are they now" video.

Bodhana: 32/32 score Kramik: It's time.

As a 8 year old kid, I can confirm this is impressive

Kramnik: ‘32-0, interesting’

jeez, the first game is literally what I got in nationals at 12, opponent walked out after Be7 for like half an hour to resign 10-15 moves later.. Bodhana was barely one or two years old then bruh, what is this prodigy-

Levy introducing his plan B when magnus retires

Guess Levy has finally find a new rival and it's a kid. Why am i suprised

Wow! Let's pray all the fame, attention and pressure and adulation don't spoil her hopefully her parents are loving sensible kind people who will protect her so she can grow up as a great human being first and a great chess player as a secondary area of development.

8 year old: 32 games, 32 wins *Kramnik has entered the chat*

02:57 Kramnik: Hmm...Interesting

Levy never fails to never fail

She is a one in a century kind of player

Absolutely phenomenal video! As a 6-year-old who adores chess, I'm so inspired by Boron Sandan's journey. It's incredible to see someone so young achieve such remarkable results in the competitive world of chess. Her determination and skill are truly outstanding, especially her performance at the European Blitz Chess Championship where she scored 8.5 out of 13 against a field filled with Grandmasters. Her game analysis, particularly the draw against a seasoned Grandmaster, shows her strategic depth and foresight on the board. It's heartwarming to see young talents like Boron paving the way for future generations in chess. She's not just a player to watch; she's a budding superstar setting new standards in the game. I can't wait to see where her talent will take her next. Go Boron! 💪👑 #ChessProdigy #FutureChessStar

It took some one years to get to a 1500 and this girl 7 years old drawing grandmasters people should be freaking out more it's amazing unreal

8-yo girl never fails to appear in a video of this guy

Levy never fails

I met Lorin D’Costa at an event at my university a few weeks ago! He has indeed coached the England Women’s team multiple times. Lovely man, and I’m sure he’s thrilled to see such young talent thriving in England.

I actually know this and I still fell for this same line a week ago cause usually e5 is bad😂 so automatically I played Qxd1 and Ng5😂

Both in speedcubing and chess, there are literally eight year olds who are better than me.

Congratulations to Bodhana! drawing against masters and even winning against a IM is not easy!

Please share more of these kids! Celebrating awesome young girls fulfills your future evolution goals for the channel! I look after middle schoolers playing chess at my school. It’s very much a boys club. Gotta turn that around

Kramnik: This 8 year old girl's 32-win streak is interesting.

Levy never fails to include himself in his own videos

At 8 years old i still didnt know how to do math wtf

Home girl is a straight savage. Like Tom Brady in that pocket baby.

Kremnik defnetly whould find her "intressting"

Levy fails to never not put video material in his videos.

26:36 i don’t think that’s how math works

32-0 - she's the one who is going to give Kramnik a heart attack.

So proud ❤

For every chess prodigy born, a GothamChess Video is made

“Are you Levy?…” “Because you never fail.” 🗿 *Chess rizz* 🥶

Getting a Gotham ad when watching a Gotham video

Imagine being a grandmaster and losing to an 8 year old. He probably switched to checkers after that tournament.

That 1944 rating cannot be right. I'm just below that and this looks like chess well above my level.

Bro, imagine being a GM, devoting your entire life to chess and then you get mogged by an 8 year old. I would be reconsidering so many life choices.

I finally got the book I preorder!!! Watch my chess career do a 360º

So once we went to this tournament in Hastings with my brother.he is about 1700 elo rated and coincidentally he played her and she absolutely destroyed him.World Class player😮

Levy's comments never fail to say Levy never fails

Levy never fails to make us watch kids

Impressive that Krámnik hasn’t accused her of cheating yet

Levy never fails to be a 28 year old chess genius.

Levy never fails to get comments

Very impressive, to hold a draw against a 45 years younger opponent in blitz. Kudos to GM Nevednichy!

32 games 32 wins, this is... instresting -Kramnik

Levy never fail to wearing glasses

32-0? I believe everyone would find this interesting

Love this! Girls and women in chess deserve more representation

Asian parent: 🚬🗿 why cant you be that kid? Krammik: 🗿👌

Kramnik: "32-0? Very INTERESTING"

I'm so happy Gothamchess is showing his audience how an 8 year-old has achieved much more than them, way to ruin their day 👍🏻

This Indian chess prodigy has Indian roots and a Hindu. We are proud of her.

0:37 MEEP MEEP

This game against Yi is a thing of beauty

I'm loving that you're covering women's chess ♥

Naroditsky making everyday anxious

I got your “How to win at chess” I just got it for Christmas

The 8-yo never fails to include Gotham in her videos

Levy never fails to make a great video

I really like Levi's enthusiasm for the game.

When she grows up she’s gonna be the best chess player in the world (not the best female chess player, the best period)
