8-year-old Nigerian refugee Tanitoluwa Adewumi (‘Tani’ for short) who was living with his family in a homeless shelter is a third grader who won the “Primary Championship” with a score of 5½/6. What’s most remarkable about this result is that he learned to play chess and played his first rated tournament just one year ago. In this video I am covering his blitz game against 2019 U.S. Chess Champion GM Hikaru Nakamura. Although in Sicilian Dragon Nakamura goes for an inaccurate combination but Tani fails to use his winning chance and by blundering his rook gets a lost position.
