Wonderful stuff, had not seen that - thanks! :)
High level game without captures?
Sort:
The longest (high-level) decisive game without a capture was 31 moves.

Was playing a very slow, closed, maneuvering game earlier and it was over 20 moves before even apawn left the board. Got me thinking: have you ever seen a good, "real" chess game between strong players where no capture was ever made? When the maneuvering and increasing tension just got to a point where it was resignable without bloodshed?
