| zb2cr: <Veryrusty>,
Guess again, BTW. The rule is "no piece captured"--which means the 50-move clock starts not at Black's 85th move, but at White's 94th. So 50 moves would be White's 144th. The alternative to Black's 131 ... Bxf4 would be 131 ... Bf8, with the idea of
132. Kc2, Be7; 133. Kb3, Bd8 to protect the Pawn at a5 from the White King's raid. |

| MatrixManNe0: How come black didn't push the b-pawn after 125. Be8? For example: 125. Be8 b3 126. Ba4 b2 127. Bc2 a4 128. Be1 a3 129. Bc3 Kh7 and the Bishops are frozen, thus probably forcing a draw. |

Hmm that also loses to 129. Bb1 and now the white king is free to go on the queen side to kill of the pawns on a3,b2. Because he will be quicker then the black king.
And once that happened whites bishop is free to run again Blacks bishop can't do anything useful. The doubled pawns on the f-file are ok. The only can which can taken is the f4 pawn but only for an exchange pawn+Bishop vs Bishop. And after that white will win. |

| 2021: Probably the longest game that was not a draw.

| FSR: Too bad Black wasn't able to put up more resistance in the Q + P v. Q ending -- then this could have been a really long game! |

| SadisticKing: They passed the 50 move rule though. |

| WhiteRook48: if they'd agreed to a draw it would've been dumb because WHITE IS A BISHOP AHEAD! |
|

| WhiteRook48: Wow. who said KQP vs KQ was a draw? |
|
| 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? |
|

 |
| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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!! |
|

| 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! |
