S. Odelia Jasmine from India’s Puducherry bagged the Guinness World Record for the ‘Fastest time to arrange a chess set’.

Guinness World Records often take to their social media handles to post videos and photos related to myriad records that leave people wide-eyed and open-mouthed. They have now shared a chess-related world record. What’s more, a girl from India has 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.”
