As we all know, breakthrough can never last forever or end in a tie, I thought I would like to see who has the longest breakthrough game on record. I have had a breakthrough game that lasted 84 moves long against ahmedi http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=907533

If you have had a longer game or even one that is close, feel free to post it.

@Dvd I read 10 more moves for a total of 84, so shorter than arcmesaaz.

This game:

http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1073677

lasted quite long. It was resigned on move 81, but would have lasted until move 86 (or 88, depending on how you count). It's also the game I'm most proud about winning, against a much better opponent. It ALSO was one of my most important games, as it was one of the last games finished in the last MONSTERSHIP, where the difference between getting 2nd and 3rd was very small, and every victory counted.

Btw, the maximum for a breakthrough game on 8x8 is 177 moves. Does anybody know the number of possible positions?
