Subject: what is the longest game of chess between programs?

I can imagine a practical game with more than 600 moves when the side with
KBPPvK (wrong bishop) is playing 49 quiet moves and pushes a pawn forward.
h2-h3 h3-h4 h4-h5 h5-h6 h6-h7 h7-h8 are 6 pawn moves of h2 and there are 5 pawn
moves of the pawn h3 and if we count the beginning of the game than it is more
than 1200 plies.

I suspect that many program will go to an infinite loop before the end of the
game and will lose on time.
