What is the longest game of Big Chess?

I noticed that in one of the Big Chess world champs there was a game that was 280 moves long. I was wondering if this was the longest. Does anyone know of any longer ones?

Hello Herbert, you can either wait or call referee.

I always give a chance to players to make it. Now it's adjudicated.

Longest by time or # of moves?

Hah, good idea... I should find the longest by time as well (at least 3 years I think), but there are vacations.

Hello Herbert. Don't worry, I saw your messages but I always give players a chance to resign in this case. It will be ended soon anyway.

who resigns after a mate?

FIDE Laws of Chess:

5.1 The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent's king. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate position was legal.

The checkmated player should resign to end the game (and to see it deleted from his list, that is more convenient anyway)

All FIDE chess rules apply at FICGS when there is no FICGS rule. Many rules here are different from FIDE (starting from 50 moves rule)... that is even more true about Big Chess.

Your own rules say:

"Big chess

Introduction

The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent. This occurs when no further move can prevent the king from being captured.

Rules are the same than in western chess, except castling is not possible"

b) When a player wins a tournament with an entry fee (not null) and prize, he can choose after the game(s) to keep E-Points (by default) instantly added in his FICGS account or, if he has E-Points enough in his account, a money prize. Entry fees and prizes in E-Points are published on the tournament page in "Waiting lists". If games in such a tournament have not been really played for a win, for example if a participant obviously lost quickly one or several games, these tournaments will not be considered as wins and the player showing this behaviour will lose his E-points involved in the tournament, that will be taken from the winner's account if necessary.

If you ask for a money prize, the tournament prize in E-Points will be taken from your account, then you'll be paid 70 % of the total entry fees in Euros, divided according to the number of winners in the tournament, ie. if you win your game(s) in a Gold 2-players tournament : 70 % of 200 = 140 Euros. This ratio may evolve anytime. (!!!)

is the last you are waiting for?
its 11 days since the first checkmate and my opponnet did not resign

Yes, checkmate is the goal (in some way) of the game, but it doesn't say it automatically ends the game. Of course I can specify it.

Finally your opponent did resign... new players do not always get immediately how the site works.

And yes, the ratio may evolve, it happened once only since FICGS started.
