I was the first to report to Tim Mann that the xboard/winboard move buffer
was too small at 256 (if a game went beyond 256 moves xboard/winboard would
totally hang and flag). This happened against a _human_ in a 3 0 game, believe
it or not (SKIPPER was his handle).
I have seen at least one 500+ move game on ICC with crafty vs another computer.
Crafty was winning, but it had to be prodded toward success by the 50-move and
repetition rules... so a lot of shuffling, then push a pawn, a lot of
shuffling, then push a pawn...
