That can’t be the condition…a Us national master couldn’t beat him even once in a 50 hours?? I’m sorry that’s not possible.

Do you know that you can google this instead of this unnecessary argument?

They become popular for their Good cause. Some become ambassador to brands, some get endorsements etc. Fake old man, What have you achieved in all your years creating topics and repling mentions here.

If you play chess on a competitive level you’d know that becoming a National master in the USA is no mean feat. They are on average stronger than our top players in naija..and Tiunde isn’t even in the top echelon of Nigerian chess in terms of playing strength..in a nutshell, that Hispanic opponent of his isn’t a titled national master.

What do you mean by titled naitonal chess master? Martinez is a National chess master in the US. This is a fact - what is the argument for?

[quote author=helinues post=129533730]How many games he won, how many lose?

All this trying to break Guinness world record of whatever is brain draining. The energy spent on just such period of time would affect so many other things.

Those who have been breaking whatever records since, what have they achieved after then?

Well done.

It was stated that playing for 58hrs without recording any lost. Kindly do more research, I may be wrong
All of those are captions and it's cos he has not lost. But not stated for GWR.
If he had lost, it won't have effect on the record. Or less you want to show me where this is stated for GWR that he's not going to loss any game.

Sir, he never lost any game or it wouldn't be a record.

The internet is there to search and confirm by yourself.
It is not stated for GWR.
It's just captions you're reading and it's because he has not lost.
If he had lost, it won't affect the record anyhow.

He played primarily with a record holder and a master like himself. He could have lost.

Am self learner, I don't really know more about the tips and tricks. Have been Checkmate times without number with less than 10 move. I discover the more I play, the more I improve.
Sure clear, practice makes perfect 🤠

This is another example. Bomo is officially recognized by fide as a fide master and has represented Nigeria in chess Olympiads. He led the bayelsa team that won gold in the national sports festival 2022 which I participated in.

Congratulations bro.

Playing several chess opponents in a row can be quite intense.

Congratulations to Tunde Onakoya, for breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest Chess marathon in the heart of Times Square!
It is an incredible feat of mental stamina and focus. Not only did he break the record, but he did it for a great cause - raising awareness and funds for children's education in Africa. His achievement is truly inspiring.

Did you hear how many hours he played in total?
Truly impressive... 60 hours of playing the royal game of chess.
