Bodhana Sivanandan, 11, Becomes Youngest Woman Grandmaster
11-year-old Bodhana Sivanandan became the youngest woman grandmaster ever at the Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Her performance raised her live rating to 2,382, past the 2,300 required for the title. With two international master norms — qualifying results — earned, the question is when she reaches 2,400 for the international master title.
