Watch as other Nigerians attempt to break this record that no one thought of until now. Funny breed of people. Meanwhile, the reason he adduced for his attempt is suspect, dude wants to cash out. Simple!

Poor mind set,

Have you ever seen a charity organization that does not cash out?

Let me break your heart further,

He would cash out,gain more world wide recognition and still achieve the aim of the charity,help the poor.

Charity is not all these bambiala you think people do on nairaland.

Its another world on its own.

Even wonder why world renowned billionaires all own charity organizations?

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?

Don't be jealous. You heard him right, the aim is to raise fund to support African children education.

I was wondering too. It's not hating to question such because anyone can break such records even if it's just playing and losing

Your comment tells me that you have not attempted chess in your life. Lol. Chess is a mental activity. You can not play if you are exhausted. So, real preparation must be planned ahead before embarking on it. Can you study when you are hungry? Can you assimilate when you are sleepy?

Guy, chess playing is not for anyone but for people with high IQ, endurance, strength, stamina, and good health. Did you read that he was vomitting at a time? I guess he had made enough preparation. So, a doctor or health person is there to assist him.

It is not cooking or dancing ooooo. I am not saying cooking and dancing aren't tough, too, but they only require physical stamina. But chess...it is everything. Metal stress is the worst. As in...mehn... no one is breaking this record soon. Mark my words. I mean, no one. Why should big chess players want to break the record when there are better competitions out there that won't make them subject their bodies to this kind of endurance? Forget it. No one is breaking it soon.

At least he is using his time productively rather than posting aimless comments on nairaland 247.

P.S. - He's achieved a lot with Chess2Slums and this win will bring even more visibility. Congrats Tunde Onakoya.

The condition of the record is that he must win every game. He is playing against a USA national chess master repeatedly, as well as against random members of the public. In breaking this record he is also raising funds for the children he teaches chess to.

You should be ashamed for the negativity you are showing here.
