What was the longest game you've every started?

What was the longest game you've ever finished?

What was the longest time it has taken you to get the other opponent into checkmate? (or taken the other opponent to get you into a checkmate)

 

The longest game I've ever started was a 2 hour one. 

 

The longest game I've ever finished was 28min.

The longest time I've ever taken to get into check mate was 25min

I play comfortably with 5, 10, and 15 minute games online.  But if I play someone in real life with NO clock, then I have played a 2 hour game.  Actually, I think it's beneficial to play longer games.

I played a couple games OTB with a friend. He was better than me and beat me, but he literally took up to ten minutes per move. I took about 10 seconds, so I read a magazine in the meantime! Some of the games took over a couple hours.

normally when talking longest to checkmate it is done in moves. and I would go around the 80's or 90's with that. longest game in terms of moves was a 120 someodd mover where the last 50 was a Q&K v R&K without pawns. it was a living nightmare. in terms of time I started a 1 hour one online. longest one I finished only took like 20 minutes of my clock.

OTB 90 moves / 5,5 hours (same game)

Well, in chess.com i played once a game that finished after 40 minutes!!! ( i couldn`t find the right sacrifice ... )

In real chess, i lost a game after 5 hours !!! ( My time was over !!! )

Same one, in worse. I once got a rook endgame transposed in queen vs. 2 rooks, then queen vs. rook (with many pawns at every stade). Something like ~150 moves, but I lost my scoresheet, so I can't be sure. It was probably a 30min (+some increment I guess...)/player game.

Intresting to know!

 

I've just played a really long game (with no timer) and that went on for an hour. I lost becuase I resigned. Oh well, my paitence isn't that good.

In time I don't know, 30 mins is the longest timed game I've had but spent longer on some online games.

93 move blitz game last night is my longest in moves, but only because I had about a minute left after 40 moves so was playing anything which didn't hang my pieces. http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=312275589

yesterday i played a 5 hour game with my brother. It was a rainy day!

25/60 and 60/5. My friend, whom I played in the 60/5 game ended up losing on time! (at least I think he did, I know he was under 20 secs) but he had a completely losing position.

I played against myself for two hours once.

Just under 5 hours.  G90+30 and 112 moves.  Drawn by 50 move rule.  Next round was last round and waited on us, 15 min break, I was paired up, very tired and lost quickly.

116 cant recall the actual game but the number stuck out to me and i've rembered it ever since.

Longest time control is 40/2, SD/1 (can go up to 6 hours)

Longest I've played might be 4-5 hrs, and maybe my longest game was 70-80+ moves.

Courtney-P

94 moves for a win.

jposthuma

My longest time control was 40/2, SD/1 (6 hours approx.)

My longest game was 5 hours and 59 minutes. (Yeah, I counted.)

The longest I have spent on a move is 43 minutes.

The most moves I have had in a chess game has to be close to 130. (We got in time trouble and stopped notating.)

I've had casual OB games go about 3 hours.  My longest recorded game was a 30 min game here that went 83 moves.

I have a online game that I have been playing for almost two years now.   

My longest otb game was somewhere around six hours and finished at midnight in a draw.  Longest (recorded) game was somewhere around 94 moves or so.

My longest livechess game in time was around three hours.  If you are talking about moves, back when I played atomic regularly and kept with the theory, I had a game go 260 moves before it was agreed a draw.
