Longest and shortest

Today Í was taking a look at the latest week in chess file (717, can you believe it's been that many weeks around??) and was quite shocked to see that one game had actually lasted 181 moves. I thought these things didn't happen anymore, you know, with the new time controls and everything! It's actually quite an interesting game also, after the initial complications, you'd never expect the game to last that long at all. Look:

 

 

 

After seeing that, I thought I'd search some short games to see if anything would catch my attention. There were lots of bad games, but suddenly I cam accross this one, which shows one of those "quietly violent" moves after a sacrifice (16...c6!).

 

 

White should have played 16.Ka1! instead.
