Despite the fact that it had nothing to do with the conversation at hand and given an hour I could work out a game that was much longer than that without a computer?

You think you can demonstrate a game longer than this idiot? You are obviously dumber then you seem. I will say no more. The obvious facts speak for themselves.

I knrew a guy played in a week end tournament, had a two hour drive to get there. Opponent was losing badly, dragged the time out to the second time control, then refused to quit and sealed his move to be played the following week-end. After driving back home and returning the next Saturay, (FOUR hours driving), his opponent didn't show, when the TD opened the sealed move, it was "resign".
Hahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......what a funny trick by a bad loser. And people here get mad when they're timed out.

Do you have the relevant tablebases?
I wanted to check that, but the 6-man tablebase alone is 3.2Gb to download.

There may of course be a better mate but you'd have to ask someone with the relevant tablebase.
