Any prior agreement between the opponents before the game\u2014such as, &quot;Let\u2019s play the longest game in history today!&quot; \u2013 or any such understanding reached during the game, automatically turns them into cheaters, with all the ensuing consequences.

At move 88, with queen and b-pawn against queen, Golubenko&#039;s opponent held for 37 moves, until he missed an only move, and it was theoretically a mate in 47. | Photo during the game by Chess Club Kaksikodad \u2013 from the right, GM Aleksandr Volodin and the chief arbiter Askold Nassar<\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/en.chessbase.com\/post\/the-birth-of-a-journey'>The Birth of a Journey<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2026-03-23T10:49:56+00:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">23\/03\/2026<\/time> <div class=\"wp-block-rss__item-excerpt\">Praful Zaveri is the founder of Indian Chess School, where he has trained more than 5000 students.
