Fredericksburg Open, which took place between October 29 and 30, 2022, was won by Oladapo Adu. A chess tournament called the Fredericksburg Open is conducted every year in Virginia, USA.
Adu, a chess player from Nigeria, won the country’s national championship in 1995 and was selected to compete in the 31st Chess Olympiad in Moscow.
He also met the requirements to compete in the 32nd Chess Olympiad, but Nigeria withdrew due to a lack of funding. Since then, he has represented Nigeria in further Olympiads, including the 33rd Chess Olympiad.
Oladapo Adu qualified for the 2015 Chess World Cup, but Veselin Topalov eliminated him in the opening round.
He is the CEO of Dapsaychess, which offers chess programs in preschools, elementary schools, and secondary schools.
We also provide private sessions in both group and individual chess. According to Adu’s LinkedIn profile, “We utilize chess as a tool to expand the intellect and to impart the life lessons chess gives.”
