The other day I was wondering about the other end of the time spectrum: how long can a Jerome Gambit game last, especially a blitz game? I consulted The Database, and found some interesting answers.
MAILMANUK - Buckeyeski, blitz, FICS, 2002 After149 moves, this game was drawn by the "50 move rule" (although it could have been drawn, for the same reason, over 35 moves earlier) |
HIARCS 11.1 UCI - Rybka 2.3.1 32-bit, 2008 Here, the two silicon monsters battled for 147 moves. |
DOCTOERDETROIT - jpiza, blitz, FICS, 2009 Here, consistent with our topic, on move 145, Black lost on time. |
