Indian chess prodigy Bodhana Sivanandan has set a world record by defeating Grandmaster Peter Wells at a tournament in Liverpool, reports gazeta.ru.

At just 10 years and 5 months old, she became the youngest girl in history to beat a grandmaster in a game with classical time control. The previous record was held by American Karissa Yip, who defeated GM Alexander Ivanov at the New England Championship in 2014 at the age of 10 years and 11 months.

Sivanandan broke the record by a margin of six months.
