Absolutely amazing performance at European Women’s Blitz Chess Championship 2023 by our talented 8y old Bodhana! We are so proud of her! Scoring 8.5/13 points, Bodhana finished the event on the 15th place, earning 75.6 ELO (blitz) points. 👏 @TelegraphChess @ECFonlinechess

Really enjoyed playing world under-8 champion Bodhana Sivanandan at @schoolschess warm up for @Chess_Fest this weekend. Playing chess at school unlocked so much for me. I hope to see more young people from all backgrounds get that chance.♟️

It being 25 years since Three Lions was first released, Frank just sent me this pic of this piece of paper. I didn't realise he still had it. Should be in the British Museum, surely...
