My longest game is 64 moves, however a case could be made my second longest game, 63 moves, was longer as it was competitive for longer. My opponent in the 64 move game wouldn't except a draw when the position was hopelessly drawn.

I played a few five-hour over-the-board tournament games, back when 40-in-2 was the most common time control for OTB chess.

This might have been the longest, at nearly 5 1/2 hours:

 

Lots of mistakes, though.
