The 8-year-old talent from London recently achieved something truly amazing. Bodhana finished first at the world's cadets under 8 in rapid and blitz. What is more amazing is that she did it with a perfect score of 11/11, winning all her games in both formats.
Being the humble human being she is, when Sagar asked her what the secret behind this victory of hers was, she said:
I don’t really have a secret. I just played naturally and won the games.
However, it is natural for people to take a back seat and start lacking off when they know they have achieved the set goal. But with Bodhana, it was different. What’s intriguing about her is that around round 9 Bodhana’s score was such that it was obvious that it would be her who would win the tournament, so what motivated her to go on and win all the games? To this, she says that she was more focused on collecting the ratings, so she had to win all her games.
When Sagar asked if winning all the games was something she expected, Bodhana said:
I expected this result because last year I managed to do the same and wanted to repeat that.
That is one of the key qualities that a good player must possess. The motivation to do better than you already have. The zeal to never stop is what helps them grow and learn.
