Paramount Pictures would be adapting the intriguing story of the 8-year-old Nigerian Chess star, Tanitoluwa Adewunmi.

The 8-year-old Tani became the center of attraction after winning the 2019 New York chess championship while living in a homeless center on religious asylum.

The 8-year-old, who was only introduced to the game at the age of 6 caught the attention of Paramount pictures after the commissioning of three books on his family by HarperCollins imprint W Publishing.

A very big Congratulations to our very own Nigerian genius. 👏👏👏
