Tani Adewumi: 11-Year-Old Chess Master Trounces 26-Year-Old Challenger by stephanie11(op): 10:48pm On Nov 08, 2021

Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi, the 11-year-old Nigerian-born US Chess Master has kept alive his hope of achieving his dream – becoming the youngest ever Grandmaster – by defeating a 26-year-old fellow Master during a casual meet in a US park.

Adewumi took to Chess aged 7, when he was living in a homeless shelter.

At the age of 8, he won the New York State chess championship for his age group, after defeating well-coached children from rich private schools.

The prodigy, who turned 11 in September, became a Chess Master earlier this year – the 28th youngest person to achieve that title in the United States.

He said he would like to become the game’s youngest ever grandmaster, a record currently held by 12-year-old Abhimanyu Mishra.

Adewumi, who claims to be training 7 hours everyday to bolster his chances of hitting his target, made light walk of his 26-year-old rival during a recent casual meet as shown in below video.

I downloaded chess on my phone hoping to learn the game through that medium...

But the way computer has been trashing me consistently just made me abandon the game.

Up till now I don’t know Jack about the game
