I think you need to be more precise about what exactly you want to know because the question "did the champions of past Marathons actually keep playing for 24h with no breaks?" can be answered only by those specific players.

> I’m wondering if the champions of past Marathons did actually kept playing for 24h with no breaks? If they do, did they temporarily give up their normal timetable for 1 day, or somehow managed to hold on playing without breaking the daily routine? (for instance, one hand holding supper and the other holding the device? :)) I’m quite curious about this honestly.

24 hours without breaks is impossible, but you just have to know how to manage your breaks. I participated in the summer marathon for exactly 23 hours straight, before stopping because I had fulfilled my goal and my body told me to stop, but with the time of the pairings and the 2 hour meal breaks, my total on the board was 19 hours. if you count the preparation and everything else before the marathon, I spent 37 hours awake, so I didn't go out for 2 days, I didn't work or do anything other than play chess, drink and eat . That's why i played this only in summer

Then I saw his ratings
