Aug-23-24		PeterLalic: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/a... Leonard Barden: "Last week’s Kingston Invitational, organised by the Guardian’s Stephen Moss, earned a niche in chess history when it produced the longest ever decisive Fide-rated game, 272 moves. Billy Fellowes v CM Peter Lalic sparked controversy when it emerged that Lalic has aimed for this record for a few years, and already has several three-figure games recorded in databases. Fellowes continued to the bitter end, as is his habit. The 12-year-old is one of several juniors who rarely resigns and plays on to checkmate. The game was adjourned overnight because the caretaker wanted to close the Tiffin school building, and resumed at 8.30am so as not to delay the next round. Some critics wanted a double default for bringing the game into disrepute but that opens a can of worms. There is no official verification of chess records, the game will be rated normally by Fide, and I would expect Wikipedia to update its entry from a 1979 game which lasted a mere 269 moves with rook and bishop against rook. There are two longer games on Chessbase, but they are draws which continued for hundreds of moves in totally blocked positions."

Aug-23-24		moodini: I'm surprised that neither of them had anything more interesting to do.

Aug-24-24		supy: Barden also talks about the stellar rise of Stanley Badacsonyi, who has recent interview https://www.chessdom.com/interview-...

Aug-24-24		areknames: LOL, is this game some kind of sick joke? This Fellowes fellow comes across as a complete young idiot.

Aug-24-24		supy: For reference: longest computer decisive chess game is between Lc0 and Fritz, 308 moves https://tcec-chess.com/#div=1&game=... So these two were not far for breaking that record

Aug-26-24		Olavi: A game Ristoja - Nykopp, Tampere 1971, in all respects a verifiable tournament game, lasted 300 moves. In terms of time used it didn't take more than two hours or so.

Sep-05-24		PeterLalic: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article... GM Luke McShane was too kind. "Some onlookers suggested that Lalic’s war of attrition brought the game into disrepute, noting his penchant for inviting locked positions. It may have been tiresome, in every sense, but I had to admire his dogged persistence. Running down the clock and depleting the opponent’s resources are legitimate strategies, perfectly illustrated by the fact that the decisive blunder came shortly after the a5-a4 pawn break."

Oct-22-24		FSR: Lalic may have missed a quicker win.
