Tani Adewumi has gone from being a 7-year-old living in a homeless shelter to a national chess master at merely 10-years-old.
Tani’s family moved from Nigeria to New York City in 2017 where they spent time in a homeless shelter above a hotel.
Tani and his brother enrolled in a nearby public school that had an active chess club. When his mother told the coaches they were living in a shelter and couldn’t pay the $330 enrollment fee, the coaches waived it.
After only a year of practicing, Tani won the New York State Chess Championship at 8-years-old. His chess coach had set up a GoFundMe following the boy’s win, which got his family into an apartment and out of the shelter as it raised more than $250,000 within 10 days.
An anonymous donor even offered to pay their rent on an apartment for one year.
Recently, Tani joined a competition with players of all aged. He emerged with a chess rating of 2223, making him a national chess master.
“I want to be the youngest grandmaster,” he told The New York Times. “I want to have it when I’m 11 or 12.”
