10-year-old Indian chess player Bodhana Sivanandan set a world record by defeating grandmaster Peter Wells at a tournament in Liverpool, writes gazeta.ru.
At the age of 10 years and 5 months, she became the youngest girl to defeat a grandmaster in a classical time control game. The previous record was held by American Karissa Yip, who beat grandmaster Alexander Ivanov at the New England Championship in 2014 at the age of 10 years and 11 months.
Sivanandan's achievement improved the previous record by six months.
