The longest game that actually ended with 1 player winning was about 120 moves. I've played a few 150+ move games that ended in a draw, though.
Game With Most Amount of Moves
I had an atomic game go 260 moves, but it was drawn long before then. My opponent insisted on playing on the drawn endgame.
Theoretically, the absolute longest possible game of chess is 1500 moves. 50 moves before taking a piece for 30 pieces, leaving king and king.

It is much larger than that. Remember that pawn moves also reset the 50-move counter.

I didn't know that. Gonna have to redo my calculations.
The longest possible chess game can go on forever if neither player claims the 50 move draw and no arbiter steps in
I am not going to post the 5,870 move game for two reasons:
1: I am not going to spend hours doing something that boring.
2. Nobody has determined the sequence of moves yet; they used mathematics to determine the number.

It's not hard to come up with the sequence of moves. You can just move the knights around while avoiding threefold repetition, push a pawn or make a capture, repeat.
Out of all the chess games you played, which one had the highest moves and how many? I played a live chess game with 114 moves! It ended with the 50 move rule, though. :-(
