Renowned chess player Tunde Onakoya has launched a remarkable endeavor to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon. Onakoya took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to announce the commencement of the event, captioning it simply as “Game time.”
The marathon is currently in progress at the illustrious Times Square in New York City. It commenced at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17, and is slated to conclude at 8 p.m. on April 19. Onakoya’s ambitious goal is to engage in continuous play for an impressive 58 hours without experiencing a single defeat.
