Casual games usually last 10 to 60 minutes; tournament games last anywhere from about 10 minutes (fast chess) to 6 hours or more. Chess is a recreational and competitive board game played between two players.
Can you win horde chess?
The most significant difference between regular and Horde Chess lies in the way the game ends. Instead, Black must capture all of White’s pawns (and promoted pieces) to win the game. Black wins by “checkmate” when they capture all of White’s pawns.
How long would it take to play every possible game of chess?
The average moves per game from the Chessgames database is 40.04, so 4.004 x 1041 moves. It then depends on speed of moves, since you’re just playing predetermined games, let’s use 1 move per second. Then we’re at 4.004 x 1041 seconds, or 1.269×1034 years, or ~ 9.2×1023 times the age of the universe.

Do chess games repeat?
Yes, under these assumptions, there are very likely some repeated games. The reason is that there are some very short chess games. For instance, Fool’s Mate ends in 4 half-moves. Each of those 4 half-moves has under 100 options, so the probability of any one game following that path is at least 10−8.
