About Tanitoluwa Adewumi
Tanitoluwa Emmanuel "Tani" Adewumi is a Nigerian-American chess player who currently holds the title of International Master (IM). A chess prodigy, he won the 2019 K-3 New York State chess championship at the age of 8 after having played the game for only a year while living with his refugee family in a homeless shelter in Manhattan. In early 2018, Adewumi, who had been assigned the lowest estimated rating of 105, played in his first tournament. On May 1, 2021, at 10 years old, Adewumi crossed the 2200 Elo rating threshold needed to achieve the official USCF title of National Master, making him the 28th-youngest chess player in history ever to do so. He won the event outright with a score of 5.5/6 (five wins, one draw, no losses).
