What string of chess notation is the longest?
Sort:
111. Nb3c5#!! should be the longest, I believe.

this is likely 100% the longest move in chess possible. took me really long because I even had to check the size of each character, making sure the notation is as long as possible in WIDTH too and not just character count! idk why i spent 20 minutes on this.
probably something like this.
This i think is the longest possible notation
In my version, we take some liberties.
1. Assume it is move 7776 and it is black to move. This is still possible in the rules of chess.
2. Assume En Passant is notated (in this case with e.p.)
3. Allow Commentary (in this case !!)
4. Draw offers are notated with (=)
7776... e5
7777. fxe6e.p.#!!(=)
With a total of 20 Characters!!! (14 not including move number) this takes the top spot. Albeit, both white and black must have been drunk out of their minds after taking 12 beers and barely being able to move the pieces without falling off their chair and collapsing into the fetal position on the floor.
