The most book moves I've ever done, to my knowledge, is 7.

-1.6} 10... exd4 11. cxd4 Nxd4 12. Qd3 a6 13. f3?? {[%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;Blunder;persistent;true] -1.5 --> -5.7 Allows...} 13... b5 ☒ (13... Nxf3+ {winning a rook and a tempo.}) 14.

Nd5 Nxd5 20. exd5 Nc2 {This threat is pretty much meaningless, since I can play the zwischenzug of...} 21. Rxe8+ {...and move away in time.} 21... Rxe8 22. Rc1 (22. Rd1) 22... Nb4 23. Rxc5 Nxa2 24. Rxc7 f5 25. d6 Rd8 26. d7 Nb4?? {[%c_effect b4;square;b4;type;Blunder;persistent;true] -3.6 --> 0.2. 27. Rc8 pins the rook and ensures promotion. Unfortunately, I had even studied promotion tactics and didn't see it during this game.} 27. Kf2 ☒ (27. Rc8! {[%c_effect c8;square;c8;type;GreatFind;persistent;true]}) 27... Kf7 28. Rb7 Nd3+ 29. Ke3 Nc5 30. Rc7 {Engine wanted 30. Rb6, but I don't really understand. It loses a pawn.} (30. Rb6?! {[%c_effect b6;square;b6;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true]}) 30...

I put the entire game in here, in case anyone wanted to look at it. I was white.

Edit: Um, something glitched, so the entire game is not there. The end of the diagram is not the end of the game. I was down a knight but managed to convert to a draw in the endgame.

I played a new move on move 28 (as Black), improving on Sznapik vs Ljangov, Sandomeirz Poland, 1976, which both players had been following out to White's 28th move.

I think the highest number possible is over 30
