Thanks gentlemen. Actually, my original question was about the ability of different programs to handle games/game scores of this length, not the longest game that had actually been played. For example, when I loaded the PGN of the 275 move game into various programs, only Winboard 4.02, Nimzo99 and CM6000 were able to play through the entire game. MCP7, REBEL 10, HIARCS 7.01, and ChessBase 6.01 all failed in different ways. HIARCS, for example, only gave the moves from 156 to 275. With the 316 mover, Nimzo99 cut off at move 300. It gave the remaining moves as a sort of text note, without move numbers, and would not play through them on the board (CB6.01 had the same symptom, but the cutoff was move 255). Winboard and CM6K were still able to handle the whole game. How many programs out there can handle a game of unlimited length? If none, what is the upper limit for the number of moves that can theoretically be handled by any program? Marc
