Chess master Tunde Onakoya breaks world record, targets new milestone

Nigerian chess master, Tunde Onakoya, is aiming for a new world record in the chess marathon after surpassing the 56-hour milestone that stood for six years.

Onakoya, who announced the feat on his social media platform on Saturday, declared his readiness to reach the 60-hour mark to support the education of African children.

The chess master planned to raise $1m for his non-profit organisation Chess in Slums Africa to help impoverished communities on the continent.
