Variety in Chess
3 Answers
Does anybody know what the total number of different ways a Chess game can play-out?
Would be interested in any links from web pages for good background.
Suffice to say White has not moved yet and the game could end in any possible way.

If a computer will analyse 3,000,000 variants per second, we will receive the result after ... 10120 years !"
