Subject: Re: Longest Shogi game?

Tim Krabbe has an interesting web page about chess records of various
kinds.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/records/records.htm
The funniest one, is the draw claimed by 50 move rule on move 70!!
269 moves (538 shogi moves) is the longest chess game.
In 1995, Piket defeated Lautier the Amber Blindfold tournament in
151 moves (302 shogi moves).  Both players played without sight of the
board.
