How we broke the world record by playing chess for 61 hours

Sjakksnakk - med Askild og Odin

The 4th of June 2024 became a special day for Askild and Odin. After playing chess for 61 hours, 3 minutes and 34 seconds they broke the world record for "The longest chess marathon". In this episode we take you behind the scenes of the match and try to give you an insight to how it all was possible. A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors and partners for making this possible, all the witnesses, our families and friends, as well as our project manager Sadiq, content creator Solveig and producer Jonas for all the great work.
