The 136-Move Marathon — WCh 2021Top 100

Dubai 2021. Game 6 — the longest game in World Championship history at 136 moves and nearly 8 hours of play. Carlsen ground down Nepomniachtchi in an epic rook and knight endgame, converting a minimal advantage with superhuman technique. The psychological blow destroyed Nepo's resistance for the rest of the match.
