Tun­de Ona­koya, a Nige­ri­an chess mas­ter and foun­der of Chess in Slums Afri­ca, is under­ta­king a remar­kab­le chall­enge: attemp­ting to break the Guin­ness world record for the lon­gest chess mara­thon wit­hout losing a game!

It will take place in Times Squa­re, New York, signi­fy­ing a mile­stone in his efforts to use chess as a tool for social chan­ge. Ear­lier this year in Ger­ma­ny, he play­ed against 10 peo­p­le at the same time, defea­ting them all!

Sin­ce 2018, Ona­koya and his orga­niza­ti­on have impac­ted over 10,000 nee­dy child­ren, pro­vi­ding them with oppor­tu­ni­ties through chess and secu­ring lifel­ong scho­lar­ships for many. Col­la­bo­ra­ti­ons with orga­niza­ti­ons like The Gift of Chess have exten­ded their reach to child­ren in 25 Afri­can count­ries.

Times Squa­re has an exci­ting and eventful histo­ry. This most ico­nic loca­ti­on in New York City, known for its dazz­ling lights and lively atmo­sphe­re has ori­g­ins dating back to the 19th cen­tu­ry, when it was known as Long Acre Squa­re.

It was ren­a­med Times Squa­re in 1904 after the offices of the New York Times were moved the­re. This peri­od saw the con­s­truc­tion of thea­ters, stores, and other buil­dings that quick­ly made Times Squa­re the cen­ter of New York City night­li­fe.

In the 1940s, Times Squa­re began to lose its appeal due to crime and pro­sti­tu­ti­on, beco­ming a dark and dan­ge­rous place.

Howe­ver, the neigh­bor­hood con­tin­ued to thri­ve due to its Broad­way thea­ters and its importance as a cen­ter of the enter­tain­ment indus­try.

In the 1970s, a series of archi­tec­tu­ral chan­ges trans­for­med the appearance of Times Squa­re. His­to­ric buil­dings were demo­lished to make way for more modern towers, signi­fi­cant­ly chan­ging the land­scape of the squa­re.

Sin­ce then, the trans­for­ma­ti­on of Times Squa­re into a vibrant com­mer­cial and tou­rist cen­ter has con­tin­ued, with the addi­ti­on of new stores, restau­rants, tou­rist attrac­tions and most important­ly its ico­nic giant screens.
