Tunde Onakoya, founder of Chess in Slums Africa, is preparing for a bold endeavor. He aims to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon without a loss.

Onakoya runs a non-profit organization known as Chess in Slums Africa, this organization uses chess to empower children from underprivileged communities by promoting education and nurturing future champions.

So this achievement for Onakayo goes beyond personal success. He plans to dedicate this feat for the purpose of raising awareness and essential resources for disadvantaged children across Africa who lack access to education.

“Doing this for the dreams of millions of children across Africa without access to education,” he wrote, expressing gratitude to his supporters. “You have been unwavering in your support over the years.”

Nigerian Chess Master Attempts Record-Breaking Chess Marathon

Onakoya announced his attempt on social media on Friday, outlining his plan to play chess for 58 hours straight at Times Square in New York City, all while maintaining an undefeated streak.

“On April 17, 2024, I will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon in the heart of Times Square, New York City, for 58 hours without losing a game,” he declared.

Onakoya emphasizes the importance of unity and calls for action: “We need to come together now more than ever to show the world that the Nigerian spirit is strong and we can achieve great things from a small place despite all odds.”

The current record for the longest chess marathon is 56 hours, 9 minutes, and 37 seconds, set by Norwegians Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad in November 2018.
