Tunde Onakoya, a renowned Nigerian chess champion and child education advocate, has triumphed over the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most protracted chess marathon. On Saturday, April 20, he surpassed the previous record of 56 hours, 9 minutes, and 37 seconds set by Norwegian duo Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad in 2018.
Onakoya’s remarkable achievement was not merely a personal triumph but also a testament to his unwavering commitment to a noble cause. He aspires to raise $1,000,000 through his marathon, which will be dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children in Africa.
Unfazed by the physical and mental challenges, Onakoya continues to play tirelessly, determined to set a new benchmark in the world of chess while simultaneously making a meaningful impact on the lives of countless young people. CONTINUE READING
