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

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

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.

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

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.

If there is a rook pawn, then an example mate is with the Black king on h1, the Black pawn on h2, the White king on f1, and the white bishop on the h1-a8 diagonal. It's not realistic, but FIDE rules don't account for that.

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

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

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

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.
