“It’s hard to say what is more remarkable – the fact that a 10-year-old is a top seed in a British chess championship, or that she strolls to victory by a huge margin, leaving three other England internationals in her wake,” he added.
Bodhana, from Harrow in north-west London, said she was “really happy” about her victory.
“Chess helps me with so many other things, at school it helps with maths, art and music.”
Her father, Siva, said his daughter was very determined, and he and his wife were proud of her: “She is doing her best, and we are supporting her.”
It is the latest success in Bodhana’s phenomenal career. In August, she became the youngest person to earn the Woman International Master title – the second-highest ranking in chess, below grandmaster.
