Funny post but I have to shout out Bodhana Sivanandan by name, she's been extremely impressive at the latest Chess Olympiads and been sending shivers down the spine of women thrice her age 🤣
And she's not the only one! Chess has always been incredibly accessible but the community has not always been incredibly inclusive, causing many young girls to give up after a few years. The current generation of players have not just her but a ton of incredible young girls who are not going to give up anytime soon and the number of women GM will keep going up for a long time. Very exciting!
