I think it's solved.
I'm not taking black😛
Edit:
You can have black, Coconut. Always do the only move available.
(Edit 2: Always answer Qd2 with Rc2)
If you bother to set it up and post it. (I don't know how to do it.)

LOL! Do you have any idea how long that would take??

Just grab a board and play it out the old-fashioned way.

It takes a few minutes if both players are online @ the same time. Of course it's possible to do this with a board, but do you know how many people are too lazy?

If you did 128 moves in less than an hour, I'd be amazed.

And you'd better not mess up, or ya gotta start all over again!

Good luck...

I've managed 250 moves in a hour. Of course they were all opening moves when 50 games started at once.

Are you sure this is 131 moves?
Anyway the first move seems to be 1.Qc5+
and now
A)1...Kd8 2.Qd5+ Kc7 3.Qd7+ Kb8 4.Qd8+ Ka7 5.Qb6+ Kb8 (not quite sure what next 6.Kc1 and 6.h4 both look good enough)
B) 1...Kb8! 2.Qe5+ Kc8 /2...Ka7 3.Qd4+ Kb8 4.Qd8+ Ka7 5.Qb6+ Kb8 repeats A)/ 3.Qd5!

So B is followed by A.
11.Kc1 Kc8 threatening Qb8. Repeat 1-10. 31.Kb2 Kc8 Repeat 1-10.
42.Kxb3Kc8...53.Kxb4....64.Kc3...75.Kc4...86.Kd3
(Kd4 or Kd5 don't seem to work because Qd4+ or Qd5 are no longer possible)
At this point you should go to the referee and tell him you know how to win, buit it takes longer than 50 moves until you move a pawn. In these cases the referee should grant you additional moves...97.Ke2...108.Kf3...119.Kg3...130.Kxh4...141.Kg5...152.Kxf5...163.Kg4...174.h4...185.h5...196.f5...

I'm 131%sure XanthosNZ meant 231 moves.
😞
Edit 2: Yes, there are mistakes😠but you know what I mean. Must have fallen😴 I think I've finally used all smilies in this forum except maybe:'(

White to move. Mate in 128.

I'm quite new here, so not sure if this one has been posted before, but I like it alot. I admit this position is not gonna appear too often in real games, but still it's funny to have a forced mate in no less than 128 moves. Computers will show only +-0.00 here for a long time :-)

edit: sorry, just saw that its only 127 moves ;-)
