Well, in extremely rare cases you can have O-O-O#, but i think youre right in the sense that it is more common for that to happen

maybe if you use descriptive notation you could get something like P-KB8=Q#

9 letters!! if we made this position move 1000 it would be 1000. cxd8=N#!! 14 letters (with space)

Does double check like “++” count,because you could have like axb8=n++ with double check,consisting of 9 characters

ra1xef1++ isn’t possible because there is no piece able to do a discovered attack by you moving the rook

 I just settled up the move for ra1xef1++
Wait wouldn't this be a promotion for the pawn?

i wrote ra1xf1++ not ra1xef1
plus, what if there was a bishop diagonally behind the rook and there were two other bishops controlling the diagonals beside, and the rook was doubly disambiguated

but that would only work if the rook was on b1 and there we go. we have another long notation
Many pawn moves can ocur in games, each of which resets the 50-move count. Probably the game can extend to like 2000 moves? (if White is the player to wipe out the entire army of Black, then the maximum number of pawn pushes is 6 x 8 = 48, while the maximum number of captures is 15, so the absolute maximum number of moves in the game without a 50 move rule being claimed is (48 + 15 + 1) x 50 = 3200, while the maximum number of moves without meeting the 75 move automatic draw is (48 + 15 + 1) x 75 = 4800,texas roadhouse calories but it is hard to achieve the first 50 moves without captures, pawn pushes and breaching the threefold repetition rule).
Yes i see this
no it is actually
Longest possible chess game including 3 move repetition and 50 move rule
