Tunde Onakoya, the chess whiz behind Chess in Slums, is at it again. His latest exploit was a chess exhibition match in Vilnius, Lithuania at the Build Stuff conference where he played 10 opponents at once and won 8-2.
The three hour marathon showed off Tunde’s skills and mental toughness. On X, formerly Twitter, Tunde wrote “I played 10 players at once… and I won all the games.”
But for Tunde, chess is more than a game. The Vilnius exhibition wasn’t just about showing off his skills; it was also a mission driven event. Funds raised during the match will go towards the education of 100 children in his Chess in Slums program. The program empowers children from underprivileged communities through chess, giving them critical thinking skills and academic opportunities. 
This is not the first time Tunde has achieved something remarkable. In January he won a simultaneous chess match in Germany and by April he had set a Guinness World Record with a 60 hour chess marathon at New York’s Times Square, raising $1 million for African children’s education.
With his latest victory in Lithuania, Tunde is already looking ahead. “Which city should I take on next?” he teased on social media, leaving fans and chess enthusiasts eager for his next move.
