A 10-year-old Nigerian refugee in the US identified as Tani Adewumi is officially the National Chess Master.
The competition was held on May 1 and Tani won the national title.
Tani’s latest feat on Twitter was confirmed by Nicholas Kristof, a columnist for New York Times.
He tweeted;
“Remember Tani Adewumi, the Nigerian refugee kid I wrote about 2 years ago who won the NY State chess championship while in a homeless shelter? Now well housed (thanks to you readers!), he just won a championship and is officially a National Chess Master as a 10-yr-old 5th grader!”
