Jan-11-09 | | WhiteRook48: this is such a long game, but the longest is 275 moves. |
|
Jan-22-09 | | WhiteRook48: well, he would've ended up with KQ vs K, but imagine if Black played on until checkmate. |
|
Jan-24-09 | | WhiteRook48: 193 moves!! Wow!! |
|
Jan-25-09 | | WhiteRook48: 163. ...Bxf4? In theory, Mashian made a mistake by trading when he was behind in material... |
|
Jan-25-09 | | WhiteRook48: oh no! Black resigned instead of playing his 193rd move!! |
|
Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: why not 193...Kg2 |
|
Feb-02-09 | | WhiteRook48: why didn't he save his knight? |
|
Feb-02-09 | | Gilmoy: <WhiteRook48:> The Knight can run, but it can't get away. After 57..Nb8 58.Bxf6+ Kg8 59.Bd8 White traps the Knight with Bb5 and Bc7, and then queens the a-pawn. Black was correct to give up the Knight to prevent White's DSB from getting behind his pawns. |
|
Feb-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: they were so tired after this game, I imagine |
|
Feb-07-09 | | WhiteRook48: thanks for analysis |
|
Feb-07-09 | | WhiteRook48: how frustrating for Black!
<163...Bxf4? Don't trade when you're behind in material>
Never mind that, maybe Black wanted to get rid of white's bishop pair |
|
Feb-07-09 | | WhiteRook48: 177...c2 practically forces the sac |
|
Feb-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: <why not 193...Kg2>
Never mind, 193. Ke8 wins |
|
Feb-20-09 | | WhiteRook48: wait, all the pawns were remaining for 44 moves!! |
|
Sep-12-09 | | SgtPepper: Actually, the rule for achieving a draw is 5O moves without taking a piece AND moving a pawn. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Both players would have sore wrists after writing down all of the moves! |

Sep-27-10 | | JimmyVermeer: Forced mate in 42:
184 Qxf6 Kf3 185 Qe5 Qc4+ 186 Kg7 Qg4+ 187 Kf8 Qb4+ 188 Qe7 Qb8+ 189 Kg7 Qg3+ 190 Kf7 Qh2 191 Qa3+ Ke4 192 f6 Kd5 193 Qa6 Qh7+ 194 Kf8 Qh6+ 195 Ke7 Qe3+ 196 Kf7 Qg3 197 Qb7+ Kd4 198 Kf8 Qd6+ 199 Ke8 Kc3 200 Qf3+ Kd2 201 f7 Qe6+ 202 Kf8 Qb6 203 Kg7 Qg1+ 204 Kh6 Qb6+ 205 Kg5 Qg1+ 206 Kh4 Qd4+ 207 Kg3 Qg7+ 208 Kh2 Qh8+ 209 Kg1 Qf8 210 Kf1 Kc1 211 Qe3+ Kd1 212 Qe2+ Kc1 213 Qe8 Qh6 214 f8Q Qh1+ 215 Ke2 Qd1+ 216 Kf2 Qc2+ 217 Qe2 Qf5+ 218 Qf3 Qc2+ 219 Kf1 Qc4+ 220 Qe2 Qxe2+ 221 Kxe2 Kb2 222 Kd3 Kb3 223 Qb8+ Ka4 224 Kc4 Ka5 225 Qb5#<2021> No, the longest game without a draw (not counting computer games) was Fressinet vs. Kosteniuk, 2007 (237 moves). Kosteniuk won, but Fressinet could have claimed a draw by the 50-move rule. <SadisticKing>, the 50-move rule did not come up in this game. From White's 94th move to White's 131st move is only 37 moves. All other series of reversible moves were even shorter. If they continue from the final position:
193 Ke6 Qg6+ (or Qh6+) 194 Qf6+ Qxf6+ 195 Kxf6 Ke3 196 Ke5 Ke2 197 Kd4 Kf2 198 f8Q+ Kg3 199 Ke4 Kg2 200 Qf3+ Kg1 201 Qe2 Kh1 202 Kf3 Kg1 203 Qg2# Alternately...
193 Ke6 Kg2 194 f8Q Qg6+ 195 Ke7 Qh7+ 196 Kf6 Qh4+ 197 Qg5+ Qxg5+ 198 Kxg5 Kg3 199 Qf4+ Kh3 200 Qg4+ Kh2 201 Kf4 Kh1 202 Kf3 Kh2 203 Qg2# |

Oct-25-10 | | sevenseaman: Its a theoretical drawing board for an end game. Good of Cg to have included it. |
|
Jun-01-11 | | kevins55555: ♕♙ vs ♕ endings are hard for the ♕ only side because the ♕ has to keep checking or else the pawn's going to promote and the ♕♕ side will trade off the final ♕ of the defending side and force a queen checkmate. LOL |

|
Jul-08-17 | | Duracell: Record for the longest decisive game, not online and not blitz, is Danin-Azarov 2016, 239 moves, not yet in this site! |
|
May-11-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Yes.
Black, who three times represented Iran in chess Olympiads, missed a draw on move 136 simply by claiming one! I think he may also have missed a draw by 133 ... Bd2. |
|
May-11-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Unless I am mistaken, black could still have claimed a draw as late as move 163. |
|
May-11-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: This game has a much more attractive finish:
Y Stepak vs N Spiridonov, 1966 |
|
Jan-24-20 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: 'the 50-move rule did not come up in this game.' Yes - you're right!
I completely miscalculated. |
