The St Trinian's star, who graduated from the U.K.'s prestigious Cambridge University last year (11), attended the launch of the World Chess Grand Prix in London on Thursday (20Sep12) and was challenged to a game by Bulgarian grandmaster Veselin Topalov.
She was defeated by the expert in a 10-minute game, but insisted she hadn't had enough practise.
