On a modest folding table tucked under scaffolding in Times Square, Nigerian chess master Tunde Onakoya is embarking on a move that will test his stamina. He’s trying to break the world record for the longest continuous chess marathon. "We started yesterday, and it’s been like 26 hours so far," said Omoteyo Jacob, a volunteer on Onakoya’s support team. The previous record is 56 hours and 9 minutes. But Onakoya told FOX 5 NY he wants to break that and then some: he’s aiming for 60 hours.
