Congratulations to 11-year-old Bodhana Sivanandan 🏴 on becoming an International Master with a final-round win at the European Women’s Chess Club Cup 2026! 👏
Bodhana delivered a fantastic performance, scoring 5.5/7 on Board 1 for She Plays to Win Lionesses 🏴, making her the youngest female player in history to earn the IM title!

Somehow my team Cheddleton who have no GMs playing, are fighting for a medal, and a place in the 'European Super League'.
Frankly it is rather ridiculous 😅
Can they pull off the biggest upset in chess history and win today?
I will be commentating on the match later! – at Montenegro

A few too many draws for a norm but in a field stacked with GMs and IMs, Stanley held his own in the GM Mix Swiss in Sarajevo. Gained some rating to take his live FIDE to 2353. Glad to have him home! English Championships next @ecfchess @EngChessTrack @TelegraphChess @chessdom @CHESS_Magazine
