Nigerian chess master tries to break world record in Times Square

[@mikolobabz]

Not TRIES to break. He ACTUALLY BROKE IT

[@imacarguy4065]

When did he break it? Because this is a 2 day old post. If he broke it AFTER this was posted, then you have no ground to trash them for their wording.

[@imacarguy4065]

Evidently from the video, this was BEFORE he broke it.

Awesome! The fact he did it outside, if anybody tries to challenge this man's record... They better do it in 45⁰F and outdoors on the streets with wind blowing just like him.

[@bravehats]

One thing I noticed about Nigerians, they are actually a brilliant set of folks, it is either they are street smart or they are academically brilliant. I think they are the most educated blacks in the US/ World according to some report.

[@EdupeIriajen]

The only thing nigeria knows is how to survive in bad or good situation. Wet ever situation they meet their self.

[@Gold-lv5ih]

Most educated ethnic group in the US. Worldwide will be somewhere like South Korea, Singapore, or Japan.

[@DamaniDanDadar]

Point of correction, Nigerians are the immigrant group in the US with the highest percentage of graduate degrees. Even more than Asians. Now whether you think graduate degrees amount to being more educated is another point, because some other group may actually have a higher percentage of Bachelor's degrees than Nigerians.

[@scotthearts9634]

​@@DamaniDanDadarthis comment! Degree doesn't equate for your intelligence or education maybe some part of it and thats about it. 😅😂

@MostlyPeacefulNinjaIt’s false there are some little countries in Africa that have some of the most intelligent people but their population is very low so you see them rarely

2 1/2 days with no sleep is one thing but he didn't eat, drink or go to the washroom? I guess he would've had to do a 24 hour fast before this so he wouldn't have to use the washroom but then you're talking about 3 1/2 days without food and water, and 2 1/2 days without sleep. I couldn't imagine.

Most in-the-loop chess fans are probably asking why he's doing this during the Candidates' tournament when we can't give him nearly as much spotlight! If he's a titled player he knows about this tournament and its significance!

He's probably not aware the candidates exists. It's not interesting to African chess fans.

[@emmanuelizuonisokien8551]

It’s interesting to all chess fans bro . Stop being biased in your thinking . Every chess fan loves the candidates...

[@Tocinos]

😂... Candidates is for 2700 players... The lowest rated player in candidates is like 2630. You only need to be 2200 for a master title.

[@DamaniDanDadar]

FIDE's candidates event happens lots of times. Tunde's attempt to raise a million dollars for charity through chess doesn't happen often. In the grand scheme of things, I think his work is more noble than a boring candidates event to select a challenger to play against a world champion who isn't truly the strongest player in the world.
