Tanitoluwa "Tani" Adewumi's win makes him the the 28th youngest person in the country to achieve that high ranking, per the U.S. Chess Federation.
Tani's remarkable abilities as a chess player helped him and his family, refugees from Nigeria, move out of a New York City homeless shelter, according to the New York Times.
Of his latest accomplishment, the 10-year-old told NPR, "I was very happy that I won and that I got the title. I really love that I finally got it."

Tani revealed he practices chess "every day" after school for 10 or 11 hours.
His next goal is becoming the world's youngest grandmaster, he shared with NPR.
The Nigerian refugee will turn 11 this summer, meaning he has just under two years to take the title from Sergey Karjakin, the New York Times reported.
