this stat is incredible to me.
when you start a chess game, you have 20 possible moves available.
after the first full move, white then black, there are already 400 possible games.
by white's second move, this number rises to about 8,900, and once both players have moved twice, it reaches nearly 200,000.
by the time you reach the 40th move, the total number of possible games explodes to approximately 10¹²⁰.
yes, a one followed by 120 zeros.
1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000
an astonishingly large number.
the observable universe contains about 10⁸⁰ atoms. chess has more games than the universe has atoms, by a factor of ten thousand trillion-trillion-trillion.
play past the opening, and you're almost certainly in a game no human has ever played before. humanity will never run out of new chess games.
