Is this a case of propaganda again??

Because I was among those that thought he had a place in GWR.....

Now , he was just doing his thing.....ok continue

Kai wahala dey o…na here people go dey fight on top Soyinka and Achebe….if ordinary Jamb and WAEC released results na to dey show results on tribal lines….nau if we asks the OP what is the meaning of this,nothing to say than tribalism bla bla….Yoruba and Igbo online rats una well done o

All records in the world are meant to be broken, so that's not a problem. We've had ours before them and it is documented already.

This OP is an 'adete' and a hate filled person.
Tunde Onakoya is known for chess, what are you known for?

I think his should be for longest winning streak?

Another yoruba scam 🤣🤣

Crab mentality... In full gear.


See as they are celebrating the downfall of their fellow African ... Tiny minds.

Ok, noted.

Next topic pls.

So Op is not the author of the article and the story shouldn’t stir the sentiments many are eschewing. This is a story published by Cable, I actually read the Fij version. That said, let us clarify some notions:

Onakoya did say he was aiming for the Guinness world record.

He was celebrated for endeavoring to break the record.

Yet, it might just be the case that his effort is still under review. The duration the review has taken is however, noteworthy. Especially, with the remarkable press associated with the endeavor.

That said, his was longest chess marathon without losing a game. Not just for the longest chess marathon. But I don’t think there’s a distinction. I didn’t see the category for “without losing a game” on Guinness record website. Also, before he can make an application, there has to be a record to break.

Onakoya mentioned he was going for the longest chess marathon record and that he was hoping to win it from Hallvard and Sjur. But I do not think he eventually played for this category.

Also, there is a category for longest chess marathon and a different category for longest chess marathon (individual) . On GWR website, there is no current record holder for the latter category. It must be this category that Onakoya applied for. Bryn and Vea won for the former, which likely requires two players. So, one might still say, GWR is reviewing Onakoya attempt.

Perhaps, the quality of Onakoya event would be greater if it were an open challenge, such that Onakoya played against random people or professional players. But if those he played against were carefully selected using a criteria that they must be novices in chess. Then the Guinness world record body may be hesitant to recognize that category. Instead, merging it with the existing category. They might ask, “what if Tinubu decides to start his own football league and score a thousand goals, is he then the highest goal scorer in football history?” Of coz, they would be interested in the quality of his opponents. I looked at GWR website, and saw instances (look at most simultaneous games of chess by an individual) the record holder Maghami had played against an additional 469 opponents but they did not meet the qualifying criteria of possessing a published Elo Rating of at least 1,200, and as a result, were not considered for the record.

Not sure about Onakoya strategy or what GWR were thinking. But, if this was the case and the case was the premise for shunning his record, It is still shameful on the award body not to have officially acknowledged or disavow Onakoya record/effort.

ivandragon:

No, it was actually for the longest gameplay. He didn't invite GWR. But the chess community was actually aware of his attempt.

Chess.com (the biggest chess organization after FIDE) made an article about it. Blikra and Bryn also acknowledged Tunde's record before they started their attempt.

Afonjah:


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.

IIt is then obvious your submission is coming from a place of hate rather than just providing information. It reeks of jealousy.O maa wa alright.

sweetkev:
My God!! People are really jobless in Nigeria. See long queues of people viewing this thread on Tuesday morning.

Wetin carry you sef come....busybody

He has made name for himself already either they like it or not. Congratulations Tunde

This is Nigeria, everybody be criminal…..FALZ

Scam no dey hard those people do

You've hit the nail on the head.

Hmm. You no go run mad?

You should know by now that his 'saluent points' is coming from no where but a tribally hateful place of his heart.

If this was not a 'Tunde Onakoya' but a fellow that share same tribal leaning as him, you and I know he won't go the whole length to compose all this trash, instead he'll open a thread telling whoever cares to listen how " 'those ppl' are jealous of our bloda bcuz he's 'obidient' "

Throwback:
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.

From his moniker alone, u should know his agenda.
Since they don't see him as "one of us", he may as well 'go down'.
Who are d ppl rubbishing woke soyinkas work as we speak??

Look at another 'nigerian' below:

The OPs name already shows his intentions, nothing good can come out of his narrative. All that matters is that Tunde is Nigerian and he is doing a great job.

Ok.

Kobicove:


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

Since when GWR turn to perquisite for rewarding outstanding feats and success?

Most Nigerians STILL don't understand how white supremacy works:

...In the areas of education, entertainment, law, politics, religion, sex and war...

once a non-white sets a record, the white supremacist attempts to :
discredit, minimize, deny or eliminate

the non-white record holder , especially if he's black

Case in point:

How the hell did the Catholic church change the original complexion of Jesus from black to white ( with blue eyes)?


In the above Norwegian instance, I'm not even talking about the fact that they did 61 hrs, but notice that they cleverly REFUSED TO MENTION THE NAME & RACE OR COUNTRY OF THE PREVIOUS HOLDER? yet, Tunde Onakanya played with white chess masters in New York and won them all.

How many chess masters did these 2 ( gosh!) white guys play against?

2 guys, yet Tunde was 1- man squad!

That's how white supremacy works.

Remember that Black South African guy who invented a new water extraction / purification system, and was curiously killed, while another white guy used his research papers and attributed it to himself, and claimed ownership of the patent, and no mention was made of the black South African?

That's white supremacy. It's usually invisible, but springs out of its darkness, once a narrative is to be maintained.

Look at another 'nigerian' below:

So they shouldn’t call him out because he is your badist brother?

MrEverest:


How did he earn it if GWR never recognized it? Did you even read the post at all?

Was GWR sleeping when he was being celebrated all over the Internet? They must be high on somthing

[img]https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1uHTdpZn8IM [/img]

I say, let's form our own indigenous Record Setting entity

Are you 'calling him out' bcuz he did sth wrong or becus he is one of ''those ppl''?

Please come with receipts, ie names and dates

Racoon:
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.

That wan no dey record?


Its just be like you score 1200 goals for one year for street football and you say you pass Messi and Ronaldo for goal scoring.
