How about the longest possible game when constrained by Tord Romstead's nice
observation that, "...Whoever manages to push a pawn to the 7th first wins." In
other words, if we redefine winning condition 2:
The game is won by:
1- capturing all of the opponent's pawns
2- reaching the last rank first
3- 'stalemating' the opponent, while still having at least
one move for yourself
with "2- reaching the 7th rank first"
