The longest chess game ever played was between Ivan Nikolić and Goran Arsović. The game was 269 moves long. It lasted for 20 hours and 15 minutes and ended in a stalemate.

I actually witnessed a game that was longer! Seriously. It was 20 hours and 55 minutes. It was 224 moves. I assume it's the number of moves that counts for the world record?

I’m currently playing a game that started in Feb 2018.  Some people take 14-days per move very literally.

It's implied that the game is OTB under toirnament or match conditions.

The OP should have clarified if he meant number of moves or time to play the game.
