Answers.Text: If you know of any notable games which reached a position where the shortest forced mate-in-N following the last capture or pawn promotion would take more than 50 moves, and where the side with advantage ended up in a mate with N minus 50, that would be very interesting to add.  I wonder what the largest "N" for any competitive game to date would be?

  Yes, many times. [Ivanchuk- Kamsky 2009](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1554423) is one example, but there are hundreds if not thousands of others. [Ushenina - Girya 2013](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1716505) made some news recently because Ushenina couldn't mate with knight and bishop in time.
