"Nigerian Chess Champion's Quest for Longest Marathon"

Nigerian chess champion Tunde Onakoya is attempting to break the world record for the longest chess marathon by playing nonstop for 58 hours in New York City's Times Square, aiming to raise $1 million for children's education across Africa. Supported by African music and cheers, Onakoya, the founder of Chess in Slums Africa, has played for 42 hours and raised $22,000 within the first 20 hours. His attempt is closely followed in Nigeria, where he regularly organizes chess competitions for underprivileged youth, and has garnered support from public figures and celebrities.
