Bhella5: Read well. Nowhere and at no time did Guinness World Records EVER recognize Tunde Onakoya as a Chess record holder. I hope lawsuits don't follow from the sponsorships, endorsements & awards he received. 71 Likes 6 Shares |

Yes the Norwegians brothers may be the record holders now, but Tunde Onakoya have once "earned a place in history” in the sand of times as far as the chess game is concerned. I am proud of him. 90 Likes 11 Shares |

The OP has raised salient points. Anyone can always exceed the past records in the future. What is informative is that despite the well publicised achievement of Tunde Onakoya, the OP says it was never in the records history of GWR. That deserves some answers from both Tunde Onakoya and GWR. 44 Likes 3 Shares |

Throwback:Was there even anywhere Tunde mentioned GWR during his chess marathon game? Or has he received any award for breaking GWR in chess anywhere? Like Pelumi Nubi, can't someone just do a big deal of good without having the record in the GWR? Not as if GWR will even pay them any money o 49 Likes 2 Shares |

Maybe Onakoya did not officially inform and invite GWR to witness and vet his record-breaking attempt which is probably the reason they ignored him 2 Likes |

I don’t really understand of what use is playing Chess for such a long time It’s poor players who play for long For me, I simply beat people in a few moves, so I don’t need to play for long.. The guy who played for 60hrs and I who beat people in 10mins or less, who deserves an award more? 4 Likes |

Tunde Onakoya broke world record, not Guinness Book of records... He didn't tell anyone that he was contesting to break Guinness book record.... What's this Guinness book of records nonsense that people are crazy about.... ? No Biggie! Tunde is forever recognised all over the world.... He doesn't need any Guinness shit 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Afonjah: If they did not wait for a confirmation from GWR before offering Onakoya endorsements and awards then that is negligence on their part so I see no reason why they should sue him 4 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Guinness World Record's Chess Record Holders Are Norwegians, Not Tunde Onakoya by OPTIVAN: 9:13am On Jul 23 |
Here. There might be an issue here....unless he dissociates himself from all the reports. I remember when the marathon was announced, he depicted it as a GWR attempt, and the challenge was viewed and publicised as a GWR attempt. Point is, he certainly can no longer lay claim to a GWR and if he did gain endorsements claiming he was a holder, well it is at the discretion of the companies he has partnered with, what to do next. But I don't think GWR can sue him based on that one, when they are not privy to the specifics of any and every endorsement he has got. 5 Likes
