According to facts.330.ca (beware pop-ups), there are 169,518,829,100,544,000,000,000,000,000 ways to play the first ten moves of a chess game.  That's:

one hundred sixty-nine octillion, five hundred eighteen septillion, eight hundred twenty-nine sextillion, one hundred quintillion, five hundred forty-four quadrillion

I found the name for that last part, so it may be slightly incorrect, but anyway... that's a lot of possibilities!

That's one of the reasons chess is a terrific game.

I think I've lost to all of them...

Wooooooooooooooooow

Those are my thoughts in 1 word.

Now calculate it for go ;)

wow...

impressive

look up graham's number

LOL!!!!!!!!

i use only 10 of them thats all

lol??

LOL, no way! Me too. Except it changes a little from game to game.

Anyway, that's a lot of possibilities, but it's what makes chess an enigma and so fun to play.
