Chike's <em>Guinness</em> score was 870,647 (seen in video above) before he won the tournament, along with $2000 of in-store credit, with 889,256 points. <br /><br />The best part of this story is that Chike actually drove two hours to compete at the Play N Trade store in Bloomington, Minnesota. Guess when you're the world record holder the trip seems worth it, considering you've probably got the win in the bag. Chike says he still hasn't done as well at any tournament event than he's done at home. The good thing about tournaments and competition is you only have to be better than second place.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/20/gh-guinness-record-holder-wins-gh-iii-tournament-beats-previous/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/forward/1144883/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/20/gh-guinness-record-holder-wins-gh-iii-tournament-beats-previous/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>chike</category><category>chris-chike</category><category>gh</category><category>gh3</category><category>ghiii</category><category>guitar hero</category><category>guitarhero</category><category>guitarheroiii</category><category>play-n-trade</category><dc:creator>Alexander Sliwinski</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-03-20T10:15:00+00:00</dc:date></item></channel></rss>
