BENGALURU: At 8, A Charvi dreams big. On Tuesday, one of her dreams came true. The class 3 student of Capitol Public School here won the U-8 girls title at the World Cadet Chess Championships in Batumi, Georgia on Tuesday.
Charvi, the National U-8 and U-10 champion, was in a spot of bother after losing in the seventh round. But she bounced back in style to grab the title with a better tie-break score after she and Indian-origin English champion Bodhana Sivanandan ended with 9.5 points. The other Indian in the fray, Samhita Pungavanam, ended with 7.5 points.
