I see Trains 44 banned for engine use. Maybe that's why he was willing to chat. He didn't have to take any time to think of moves!

Re: my game. My opponent agreed to the draw at move #124,when he realized he had only 3 moves left until the 50 move rule,and no mate in 3 to be found.

Lone kings is a draw, but not stalemate. Stalemate is a draw, but not all draws are stalemate.

Learn the rules, poser.

In the March 2006 issue of Chess Life (pg. 46) the "Game of the Month" is a correspondence game played in the 14 Olympiad Final 2002 between CGM Gustavo Echuguren and SM Daniel Fleetwood. White resigns after 118 moves. (I wonder how long the game actually took to play since it was a correspondance game). Anyway after this game IM Alex Dunne writes:

"The longest decisive correspondence game is sometimes given as Bedu-Lemaire, France cc 1989, 186 moves, but this game is so clearly played just to break the record that I would not accept it as an honest game. Instead, Hund-Namyslo, Germany cc 1987 at 155 moves would seem to be the legitimate title-holder."

check out the game I posted. Longer and plus it was real time = more pressure, with all the people staring and prize money etc.. Plus the washroom run, you can't beat that 😛
