I can't help but laugh out loud when I think of all the PhD's, post-docs,
University profs, programming professionals, etc. sitting in front of their PCs
running Chessbase/SCID and pushing around 16 pawns, trying to get the highest

I'll stick by my original statement that no game can exceed 81-ply.
