This is the longest game I could find. 182 moves.
(Though I'm sure I've a 200+ somewhere on here).

A 'quick' run through the game. (which took a while).

Black goes a piece up through some White miscalcualtion, Black
throws the piece back a few moves later.

Then we get this opposite coloured Bishop ending with White two pawns down
entrenched on the black squares.

I've not counted but suspect Black gave up a pawn to avoid the 50 move rule.

      Wow, that's a game I played in a hard core tournament. How did you find that???

      Yes, I gave up a pawn to get 50 more moves....
      As it was a hard core tournament with ZERO day timeout and 21 day timebank we both were running out of time. I was in the better position with more time left.
      In the end he moved and moved and I had to allow him to claim the draw....
      Exciting!

      But the last hundred moves or so had nothing much with chess to do, did it? Caïssa would roll...

      True, I was just playing further for a move timeout....

      Even if you used the chess rules, it wasn't chess you played.

      It is as in situations as this I would like that either one could call for an arbitrer who could call it a draw straight off.

      Thanks greenpawn. But as others have said, more about time than chess.
      An arbiter would have avoided the moving ad infinitum.
      I've been having probably the longest game for me (with pawns and bishops in close quarters too) but it doesn't come anywhere near this. Interesting. Takes some time to "play" through. The button presses certainly became faster.

      Thanks for your blog too. Discovered it recently

      Don't be hard on the lad Fabs.
      There was a method in his madness.
      With a zero time bank who ever logs on the most wins.
      It's not chess chess but it is amusing.

      What would the controller have done about these two merry fellows.

      To get to the real exciting bit go to move 80 and play the game from there.

          If it keeps them amused I see no harm in it. At least they aren't claiming that the other is up to no good based on less than 20 ordinary looking moves.

          I wonder how those last 40 odd moves match up with Fritz or Rybka 🙂
