| Aug 8, 2012 at 1:06 | comment | added | Robert Kaucher | I just did a quick look at mega database 2011, filtered by rating 2500 or over and the vast majority of games were over 30 moves and most of those over 60. | |
| Aug 8, 2012 at 1:00 | comment | added | Tony Ennis | I don't buy into the idea that a 'good' game lasts for about 30 moves. It takes as long as it takes. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 20:44 | comment | added | Robert Kaucher | Your opponent has the right to play on unless he is mated, you resign, or you can claim a draw under one of the rules such as 3 fold repetition or 50 moves or some one is in stalemate and has no legal moves. If none of these have been met and your opponent wishes to play on, you play on. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 20:40 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | @EdDean I can't recall where I read it, I think reading about a tournament rule or something. I was under the impression that 60 movies was bordering on unreasonably long, but if that isn't the case I guess this question is kind of moot? | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 20:28 | comment | added | Robert Kaucher | Mate your opponent before move 31 or resign. That is all you can do. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 19:38 | comment | added | ETD | You say you read that "most games should ideally be finished in about 30 moves." Do you recall why that was supposedly ideal, or in what sense a game "should" be finished by then? 60 moves isn't an unreasonably long game (though as an average length for your games that would be pretty long). | |
