Eight-year-old homeless man called state chess champion

An eight-year-old refugee from Nigeria has just been named chess champion in a state competition in New York.

Tanitoluwa Adewumi, who lives in a homeless shelter in Manhattan with his family, has won the champion's title last week with a lost performance, according to New York Times columnist Nicholas Christopoff, records Periscope.

Tanitoluwa, known as “Now”, had learned to play chess as a year old, and has told the newspaper that he wants to become the world's newest master.

They had come to New York in 2017 from Nigeria because of fear of the terrorist attacks of the notorious group Boko Haram [the world's terrorist].

The organizer of this race has even raised the amount that Tam will win because of his financial situation. Although he started out as the most vulnerable member of the club, he soon stood up and is now bringing his school a fame he had previously.

Tani's family has applied for asylum, and is expected to have a hearing in August. /Periscopi
