**BREAKING: Nigerian Chess Master Enters Day 3 of Marathon Chess Session, Survives on Jollof Rice and Prayers**
In a bizarre attempt to shatter the Guinness World Record for longest consecutive hours spent playing chess, Nigerian chess master, 32-year-old Abubakar “The Checkmate King” Muhammed, has now surpassed the 50-hour mark, leaving onlookers in awe of his alleged endurance.
Eyewitnesses claim that Muhammed, a self-proclaimed “Chess Wizard,” has been sitting in front of a chessboard for an astonishing 52 hours and 37 minutes, with no signs of fatigue… or sanity.
“I’ve been playing chess for so long, I’ve started to see pieces moving on my eyelids,” a visibly exhausted Muhammed told reporters, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. “I’m not sure if I’m still in Nigeria or in Chessylvania, a land of endless openings and dubious endgames.”
As Muhammed continues his quest to play chess for 60 consecutive hours, his support team has been working tirelessly to keep him fueled with an endless supply of jollof rice, suya, and what can only be described as “extreme” amounts of caffeine.
“We’re not just feeding him, we’re performing a ritual to keep his chess mojo alive,” said Muhammed’s coach, Alhaja Funmi “The Chess Queen” Adeyemi. “We’ve had to import special chess-themed IV fluids to keep him hydrated, just in case he needs to sacrifice a pawn.”
Despite concerns about his physical and mental well-being, Muhammed remains resolute in his pursuit of chess greatness.
“I’ve been preparing for this moment my entire life,” he declared, his voice shaking with determination. “If I don’t break this record, I’ll… I’ll… well, I’ll have to play another 10 hours to make up for it.”
As the clock ticks down to the 60-hour mark, the world waits with bated breath to see if Muhammed can achieve his goal. Will he emerge victorious, or will he succumb to the pressures of prolonged chess-playing? Only time (and a steady supply of jollof rice) will tell.
**UPDATE:** The Guinness World Records officials have confirmed that they will be present to verify Muhammed’s record attempt. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support Muhammed’s “Chess-induced Trauma Recovery Fund.”
