Here is the text from my home page.
To me this is the longest defense.

Kasparov,G;

Analysing this with Rebel we tried to find out the longest defense
till the draw (repetition) would be found. Well it is at least 36 plies.
Even for DB super machine that's too much.

The line goes like this...

45.Ra6? Qe3! 46.Qxd6 Re8! 47.h4! h5! 48.Bf3 Qc1+ 49.Kf2 Qd2+ 50.Be2 Qf4+
51.Kg1 Qe3+ 52.Kh2 Qf4+ 53.Kh3 Qxf5+ 54.Kh2 Qf4+ 55.Kg1 Qe3+ 56.Kf1 Qc1+
57.Kf2 Qf4+ 58.Ke1 Qc1+ 59.Bd1 Qxc3+ 60.Kf1 Qc1! 61.Ke2 Qb2+ 62.Kf1 Qc1

Note 60..Qc1!

It's a (quiet) non checking move. Perhaps the reason why no
program can find 45..Qe3 with a draw score?
