11-Year-Old Bodhana Sivanandan Closes In on Historic Chess Milestone
Young chess sensation Bodhana Sivanandan could become the seventh-youngest international master ever at just 11 years old. Meanwhile, Monte-Carlo, Odlar Yurdu, and CE Gambit Bonnevoie prepare for crucial final-round battles
The final round promises plenty of drama as teams battle for glory in the chess tournament. Monte-Carlo appears to have the easiest pairing on paper against Davit Jojua's Chess Club, while Odlar Yurdu faces a tough challenge against second-seed Sirmium Sremska Mitrovica. CE Gambit Bonnevoie will also be looking to bounce back against seventh-seed Crvena Zvezda.
However, one of the biggest stories to watch is 11-year-old FM Bodhana Sivanandan. The young chess prodigy could achieve a remarkable milestone by becoming the seventh-youngest international master ever.
Bodhana may need just a draw against 2116-rated WIM Irina Tetenkina to reach the historic milestone at the age of 11 years, 7 months, and 16 days.
