Yes, I understand how this works. My point is that 19x19 lasts longer on average than chess because the board is really big. We don't have to debate it, just look at the average number of moves per game. For chess it's something like 40 moves at the top levels, that is 40 per side or 80 ply. What is it for go? A quick glance shows that on average (looking at kgs games) I see many over 200 and most over 100 and they are still in progress.
