New Delhi: Guinness World Records have shared a chess-related world record of a girl from India. She bagged it by defeating the previous record holder by a few seconds. They have even posted a video of the world record attempt, and it is slowly gaining traction online.
“Fastest time to arrange a chess set 29.85 seconds by S. Odelia Jasmine,” read the caption of the video shared on Instagram by Guinness World Records. The video shared by the record-keeping organisation shows Jasmine placing the chess pieces on a green and white coloured chess mat. She places one piece at a time with just one hand and finishes arranging the last piece in just 29.85 seconds, thereby bagging the world record title for the ‘fastest time to arrange a chess set’.
According to Guinness World Records, Jasmine extensively practised for a year before attempting the world record in India’s Puducherry and achieving it on July 20, 2021. The organisation quotes her as saying, “My biggest dream is to achieve a Guinness World Records title.”
