Story by Mark Griffin | Photos by Scott W. Grau
TOLEDO – Tani Adewumi was introduced to chess at age 7 by his older brother, Austine Adewumi, when their family lived in a homeless shelter in New York City.
One year later, Adewumi won the K-3 New York State chess championship. Sound implausible?
Now 14, Adewumi is a high school freshman and plays guard on the basketball team. He is rated one of the best young chess players in the world, with an international rating of 2362 and a rating of 2436 with the U.S. Chess Federation; it’s a rating high enough to earn him National Master (NM) status.
To read the full story, go to Tani Adewumi.
