Tanitoluwa Adewumi, who goes by Tani, is riding high after becoming the newly-crowned chess champion for players in kindergarten through to Grade 3 at the New York State Chess Championships.
Tani’s family members, who are waiting for their asylum application to be accepted, feel “tremendous,” his chess teacher Russell Makofsky, told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview. Makofsky, who oversees the school’s chess program, waived the club fees for the budding young chess genius. But Tani’s success happened despite a tough upbringing.
Besides being a state chess champion, he’s already won seven trophies in several different competitions.
And he has only been playing for 1 year. Bright kid.
