My longest game...

This is personally my longest game. With the white pieces is me. I have been playing chess for fun for twenty years. I am not a titled player, and probably never will be. If Chess were the ocean I would consider myself a small shark that can gobble up a lot of the fish, but there are a lot of bigger stronger sharks out there, and my opponent for this game is one of them. With the black pieces is Computer-4-IMPOSSIBLE. This machine is rated about 3-400 points higher than I am, and I have seen it beat NMs so I am going to have to bring my A game to even have a chance of fighting the machine. Enough build up... Here is the game, and Do you think I played a good game or was there room for improvement on my part?

I found it hilarious that you just moved your rook back and forth from h3 to h2 for 100+ turns.  Where you in time trouble, or did you simply not have a plan?

This reminds me of a monster I played against the IMPOSSIBLE . It's not as long as yours, but almost. Laughing

Time was never really an issue in the game b/c the clock settings were 10/10. I gained 10 seconds w/o having to think about it many many times. Around 200 moves in I had over 20 minutes on the clock. I couldn't find a winning plan, but I found one that was not losing.

I don't see why the computer would play 144... rb6?? in that game that is just handing over a rook for nothing really.

It looks like both player were just stalling for time with nothing better to do than to play rookies for a 100 or so moves to try and get their longest game on record.  The writing was on the wall for a draw in the moves around the 60's. Not very inspiring!


It was vs the computer. I offered a draw at least 10 times and since move 50 or so and it did not accept until move 221
