Does anyonr have additional info on this game?

Note that the first capture took place on move 94. If this game is
legit, Tim Krabbe will need to update his "latest first capture" file.

Two sources also mention that this game actually lasted 221 moves (no
gamescores are given). Tim Krabbe does not mention it in his "10
longest games" list.

1) "Chess" - Oct. 1, 1969. Williams (Black, in the game below) reports
on the event. ".... [Rogoff's] previous game, against me, had been
drawn in 221 moves!"

2) From a autobiography/CV of Rogoff at:
http://post.economics.harvard.edu/fa...ogoff/bio.html
".... my marathon game (from Stockholm 1969) against Britain's Arthur
Williams established a new record for the longest game ever played and
was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1971-73.".

Considering the number of trolls there are at this NG, it doesn't surprise
me to find that in the Guinness Book of Records chess is on the same page as
cave exploration.

Yes, but chess trolls live under draw bridges.
