Guinness World Records frequently uses its social media handles to share videos and photographs of various records that leave people speechless. They have now set a chess-related world record together. They’ve even uploaded a video of the world record attempt, which is slowly gathering popularity 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 spent a year preparing for the world record attempt in India’s Puducherry, which she achieved on July 20, 2021. “My biggest dream is to achieve a Guinness World Records title,” she says, according to the organisation.

Here’s how people reacted to the world record video

“Feel like i can do this in 15 seconds tho,” posted an individual. “I’m assuming this is one handed? Regardless, you could split this time in half by placing two or three pieces at the same time. I honestly feel like I could break this record with about 60 minutes of practice,” expressed another. “What are the rules ? 1.Do I have to take only 1 piece in hand at once ? 2.What is the minimum distance for the pieces from the board? 3.What if I use both hands?” enquired a third. “Seems beatable,” shared a fourth.

Guinness World Records also commented on their post and shared about previous titleholders. They wrote, “Previous recent record holders: 30.31 sec by David Rush (USA) in 2021, 31.55 sec by Nakul Ramaswamy (USA) in 2019, 32.42 seconds by Alva Wei (USA) in 2015, and 34.20 seconds by Dalibor Jablanovic (Serbia) in 2014.”
