A chess master from Nigeria, Tunde Onakoya, has set a Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon for 58 hours, playing for 16 hours at Times Square in New York City.

Onakoya has won all opponents, including his match with National Chess Master Shawn Martinez. 

His manager, Taiwo, explained that after 15 hours of continuous play with 12 opponents, Onakoya took an accumulated 30 minutes break. 

He also stated that Onakoya is playing two sets of games simultaneously and must not lose either. 

The event has received significant support from Nigerians abroad, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, among others.
