I was just wondering what is your longest on going game? I've one that is now over 920 days long - it was a 21/21 tournament game, so to be expected to be a long one, and not a problem. More curiosity.

Kind regards

Game 8546719 looks like a candidate 1370 days and going strong...
Game 7965047 is quite a bit older 1592 days...

The first game you have there is actually the last game of the longest ongoing tournament: started Nov 17 '05. That's almost 10 years ago! Unfortunately, this particular game is already round 3, so started only almost 4 years ago. I would think these tourneys are won by however just keeps active long enough.

I looked up the oldest tournaments with 21/21 to find examples 😉

Ten years to finish a tourney? Good grief! I know chess makes us insane. But this is an entire psychiatric ward 😀

It turns out the Hatfield-McCoy feud was actually not started over someone taking a pig, but taking en passant!
