Verdensrekord i lynsjakkmaraton!

IM Magne Sagafos (2418) og Joachim Berg-Jensen (2183) klarte i dag målet om Verdensrekord i lynsjakkmaraton. Dog ikke med mye – de avsluttet etter 40 timer og 40 minutter – men rekord er rekord!

The longest chess marathon lasted 40 hr 20 min between Daniel Häußler and Philipp Bergner (both Germany) at the old town hall in Ostfildern, Germany, between 17-19 December 2010. Häußler won 191 matches to Bergner’s 114. There were 50 draws.

Når rekorden blir ratifisert blir den å finne i Guinnes World Records.
