She's such an incredibly smart girl, I love everything she thinks and says. "I want to be world champion like Carlsen" "I want to be one of the greatest players of all time" How many other talented girls would have such ambitions. Besides, look how many people, after discovering her talent, said, "We have a new Judit Polgar". This amazing girl outsmarts them all. Why should she limit herself to being the best woman? She just wants to be the best, like Carlsen. She wants to be known for her achievements, not gender. She doesn't follow women's chess? Sure, who follows 2500 elo players (whether male or female) wanting to be a 2800 elo player? She already understands much more when others still don't. I hope she reaches the top and fulfills all her dreams.
@@antonsokolov1771 I actually live in the UK and our chess community is very supportive towards her, I have practically never encountered any attacks towards her among other chess players. She got a bit of this when news of her achievements made its way into the mainstream media and was picked up by various people. Some people are racist here, but at least we don't perceive it well.
Why? Because of he is Indian blood, you resist English man, uk is greatest country becouse of India, uk looted us , you are nothing stupid resist man, even you don't have good pm ,
Omg what a sigma girl! She's just like "I don't follow women's chess, I don't need it to be world champion". She's just some little future GOAT standing here. I love that confidence and ambition! But it would be quite funny to come back to this video after some time when this girl will be a real GOAT and then she will say "I don't follow other players' games, it's they who need it to be as good as me".
Exactly the attitude women need to adopt. Don’t follow women chess and just aspire to be not just women wc but the best you can beJudith showed it’s possible to reach the top echelons.Chess is not a physical sport and there is no reason why with good training and a support system a woman can be just as good in the field as the best of men.
@@ashesds1 I totally agree, I love her approach. She wants to be a top chess player so she follows top chess players. It just surprised me very positively. It's hard to find girls who think this way.
Yes, exactly Me before watching this video: wow, what a little cutie Me after watching: this little cutie has a confidence that scares me. She stands there and says she's going to be world champion and I look at her and believe it myself afraid to even say otherwise By the way, I think that self-confidence and awareness of one's own abilities is a very necessary thing in chess
This is common in prodigies, they behave more maturely than children their age. They understand the game at a much higher level. I once saw an interview with Bodhana in which she said that playing chess makes her feel like she is older than she actually is.
@@lessormore001 well of course, everybody would prefer to be 2018 Ding to being 2023 Ding (even Ding himself, I suppose?) It was very unfortunate how the whole cvd situation and then government restriction affected him personally and professionally. It got to him psychologically and he lost confidence and resilience perhaps... But still, he is the current Champion, and a 2100 player can still want to be be like him. To be completely clear, I am not complaining about "I want to be like Carlsen" (sure she wants to be like him, every chess player would love to be like him (even Hans, though he won't admit it probably :D)) nor "I want to be world champion like Carlsen" (he was a world champion, and she wants to achieve that as well). But the sentence was "I want to be LIKE world champion, LIKE Carlsen") which sounded like she meant Carlsen from the start, and she meant she wants to be like him, but then remembered "oh, he is not the official champion anymore, I need to clarify". I'm sure she did not mean it like that, but if this was said by anybody else than a 9 yo child, then one could take it as an insult (like: "I want to be like the world champion... no, I don't mean like Ding, I mean the real champion, I want to be like Carlsen") lol... that was far too long paragraph to write about something that a 9yo said and probably did not even mean it like that. I'm out
@@panda4247 Well, I feel quite funny discussing what a 9-year-old's intentions might have been when talking about her future chess goals. I don't think she meant to insult Ding (and yes, it's very sad that he plays like this and can be remembered as one of the weakest world champions) and I probably know what she meant. She's only a child, so she may have difficulty expressing her thoughts so precisely. In one of her other interviews, she said that her ultimate goal is "to be remembered among the greatest players of all time." This goes well beyond just being a world champion and is characterized by absolute dominance, breakthroughs and constantly setting new records. And while I can name a dozen world champions, but when it comes to the greatest players of all time, only three really seem to stand out: Fischer, Kasparov and Carlsen. When she says this (though perhaps not entirely perfectly), she means this title an important goal, but only one among many others. I also have a slightly different interpretation of this, although I think it is less likely. Bodhana, as a girl, could also fight for the world championship in the women's category. By adding "like Carlsen" to her statement, she makes it clear that she means the open section. It would be as if she had this in mind from the beginning, but after a while she thought "The interviewer might not understand what I mean, if I mention the name Carlsen, it will be completely clear to her." A third interpretation could be that Bodhana, as female prodigy, is very sought after in the chess world. There have been very few outstanding women so far, and none of them have become world champions. So certainly, even if she was slightly less outstanding, as a woman with the title of world champion she would be easier to remember and mention first, although many players now might not think about world champions like even Ding first. By saying "like Carlsen" here (and I even saw another interview of hers where she said "better than Carlsen") she could mean "My goal is not for people to remember me because I was a girl. What I would like most is for people to remember me and say that I was the absolute best in the world and I played this game like no one else could." because that would be something she would be remembered for regardless of her gender. If that were the case, that would be incredibly smart and an admirable approach. I'm finally done, so now I hope you enjoy reading this entire essay about one statement made by a 9-year-old girl.
She's 9 and her school finishes at 4, then school studies for a few hours... wut? When I was 9, school finished around noon and I played with my brother and neighbour for pretty much the rest of the day.
Yes, it surprised me. I know that in the UK lessons can be quite long but there is usually little or no homework. It's rare that she has to do a few hours of homework during primary school.
She is not indian citizenship girl. Her parents may be tamil origin and they have settled in England and she was born in England making her true citizen of Britain
@berlin2047 That's the story of every immigrant. Nothing new, she'll deal with it. Sonia Gandhi has faced that in India all her life although she had been wearing saree since marriage. First we need to respect people who come to our country before expecting the same from others.
great to see India has so much talent that Indian Tamils are representing England ... specially England where talent is lacking ... Jai Shree Ram, Jai Hind
Love little Bodhana ❤ She is so cute and talented. Thanks for this interview with her!
I admire her courage in answering questions ❤ wishing her the very best
She is ace! Great interview!
She's such a cutie full of confidence and talent. But I don't think she'll get to meet her idol Capablanca in the remaining few rounds.
Do you recommend trying the next Olympiad then?
🤣
Not really
More like 🤮🤮🤮
England should proud of this girl whayt a maturity and energy making her nation proud
The interviewer is super nice! a bow to inform their respect to her size and invoke a conversation
She's such an incredibly smart girl, I love everything she thinks and says.

yes u are right. now that she has manifested it.. she will achive it
Lmao anybody could day dream like her 😂😂. Nobody cares
If she wins she will be British, if she loose she'll be indian.

She is Brit
yup just old habits of britishers...

she is not Indian numbnut.
She is British. Her ethnicity is Indian.
true..
She's British
@@abhijitsen7749umm she still got an Indian origin
It doesn’t make any sense for two or 3 people making and it can done by their own fame. There is nothing to do with Indian origin.
Being an Indian, I will not take credit she is Indian blood. She represents her country she is proud of it.
Yes, but your country don't respect talent so you have no Wright's to take credit of it।
@@dhananjayrathod-tt7me What do you mean
Absolutely ,it's useless and worthless to call her Indian .
@@dhananjayrathod-tt7me she is second generation British
What are you talking about ??
what would u take credit of if you could even take ? hahahah. go produce ur own babies indian or nepali .. does not matter
Hopefully she gets to meet her idol Capablanca in the playing hall in the last 3 rounds
😂😂
Ooh maybe in the future 😂
You are not serious right
He died in the year 1952. Maybe she can meet him in the next life
she may be 9, but speaks like 40👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
that's the English accent :D
it sounds inherently smarter than perhaps other accents
That British accent!! ❤️
Proud of Accent??
You should be proud of her achievements at such an age...
She doesn't look british
She is endrick of chess community
England don't deserve her.

O wow thats my favorite!
I love her confidence.
She sits on a booster seat, she can't really get up many times.
She is such a cutie pie,i love her ❤️🤩❤️
Britishers on twitter 👀 looking her representing england.

Damn she is already resonating the aura.
Happy to see vibudhi in her forehead❤
Mine too!
The Confidence in her will serve her good iand pay her dividends in the near future for sure.
Everywhere indian diaspora.....indian roots... this is indian century❤
Very nice interview!🙂

Graceful..
"I want to be like world champion, like Carlsen"

We all know that being a world champion like Carlsen and like Ding are two completely different things. The girl chose the first option.
