I calculate that the longest possible game on QueenAlice would take a little more than 550 years. I challenge you to either confirm or refute this claim.

The maximum is a 14 days/move game.
So we can make 12 moves in a year.
each pawn can move 6 times = 16 * 6 * 50 moves
we can caputure 30 pieces = 30 * 50
So we have a maximum of (96 + 30) * 50 moves = 126 * 50 moves
Deviding the 12 moves per year, we get roughly 126 / 12 * 50 = 500 years.
It seams you are correct 
But what when both decided not to claim the win by time

|
Hath thou factored in full vacation time?
|
|
|
In my calculation there is only 320 days per year due to 45 vacation days.
|
|
|
Should that be 275 days as there are 45 vacation days each?
|
|

I don't understand the figures. Why did you multiply by 50? And I think that non-capturing moves aren't taken into account.
