| drukenknight: his opponent simply trapped the queen, any normal player would play 26 Bxg5 and no big deal. |

| ellipotrix: So the only reason for 26.Qe3 is ?
To keep playing without exchange!
Does this game answer the question:
What is the maximum moves a game can have without exchange without compromising your position? does anyone know of a game with more than 25 moves in this category? |

| Sylvester: chessgames.com, thanks a lot for finding this! This is the game I was talking about last year with the neat final position, all 32 pawns and pieces still on the board! |

| mj29479: what about the line?
26.Bxg5 Qxg5 27.Bd1 Nb6 28.Nf1?
or 26.Bxg5 Qxg5 27.Bdi Nb6 28.Bc2? |

| Sylvester: Is this the only game in the database with all 32 pawns and pieces on the board at the finish that is not a grandmaster draw? |

| Abaduba: Andy Soltis did a column in Chess Life more than a year ago on long games without captures. I think he found a 70+ move draw in which no piece was ever captured, and a game with 90+ moves without a capture, though there was a little bloodshed at the end (I don't remember the result). Oh, and remember that a Fool's Mate has no captures! |

| Benzol: I find this game amazing, all 32 men are on the board and White is quite lost. |

| LluviaSean: This is what I call real advanced chess. Beat your opponent without capturing his pieces!! |

| An Englishman: Good Evening: Until the Flohr-Zaitsev line became popular in the 80's, theory held that Smyslov's 9...h6 had to be played before ...Re8 and ...Bf8. This game is not typical for the lack of captures, but it is a typical example of one way to play Black. He manouvers on the Queen side with the Knight to gain space and forestall White's potential initiative, then "undevelops" the QB to its best square (17...Bc8) in preparation for a King's Indian style King side assault--look at the central pawn formation. And guess who was an expert in the KID? Well played, Gligo. |

| syracrophy: What was white thinking when playing 27.a7?? One of the worst blunders I had ever seen! |
|

| D.Observer: White resigned to make this record. Else, his queen was captured. |

| WhiteRook48: 27. f3 was better, even though it loses some tempo |
|
