13 Oct 1928. In The Times, 5 Aug 1926, it was said to be more than 180 moves
long but this proves not to be the case. "We give below what we believe to be
the longest game ever played in the British Championship, though we have
recollections of another long one, in which Mr. V. Wahltuch, the one-time
Manchester expert, was a protagonist. Our game was played in 1926 in Edinburgh
between F. D. Yates and W. Gooding. The actual time taken, as proved by the
competitors' clocks, was 14 hours 11 minutes, and the moves numbered 142. This
is not a world's record, however, for a game was played at Carlsbad in 1907
which took 157 moves to complete. Whether more time was occupied we do not
know, probably there was, for as a rule play on the Continent is at a slower
rate than in Britain..."} 0-1

attraction was the meeting between Miss Gilchrist and Miss Price. The game was
long and hard fought, both players were obviously aware of the probable
importance the result of the game would have on the destina­tion of the title,
and took no risks. Miss Price had, if anything, the pull in the mid-game, and
the ending was extremely interesting as it would appear that in a B and level
pawns ending there was an opportunity to force a win by sacrificing a passed 
[h-pawn]. Tired, and unable to see clearly to the finish of the combination,
Miss Price was content to draw." Source: The Scotsman, 4 August 1926} 1/2-1/2
