Myself and Defrag1971 played the longest game ever that was completed on September 1st! The game was 86 moves which eclipsed the record which was 74 played by CaissasDream-GothicIventor. The game was a draw which for some people might not seem dramatic, but for us I would say that the game was hard fought and well played. There were probably second best moves played throughout the game, and other than myself losing a pawn which I never was able to win back this game is definitely worth taking a look at!! Game #98600
If anyone knows of a longer game of either one of these please post it.
