I would think such games would be hard to resist.

hey, i found that:

Greatest number of checks. In Wegner - Johnson, Gausdal 1991, there were 141 checks in the game. White had 100 checks and Black had 41 checks. The game lasted 200 moves.

probably some consecutive in there, too.

and this:

Longest series of checks

In 1995 in the Czech Republic, a game between Rebickova and Voracova ended with 74 checks by the black Queen.

if you follow ragworts link you find most of the record games playable in a little window. i couldn't extract the pgn to this, though...

and i am kind of lazy to that translation myself.

by the way, that page is really nice. fun games, like one with two knight promotions in a single game...

This is like someone took the script of The Usual Suspects and converted it to algebraic!

Or a game from the introduction of A Domino Players's Guide to Chess.
