Indian-origin chess prodigies Bodhana Sivanandan and Shreyas Royal have made chess history over the weekend by winning the 2026 British Chess Championships in England. 11-year-old Bodhana has become Britain's youngest-ever Women's chess champion at the games which concluded in Coventry on Sunday. Bodhana clinched her title in a tense rapid-chess playoff against Ireland's 14-year-old Trisha Kanyamarala.
