The puzzle...
The initial chess position allows White to play 20 legal moves. Do you know what's the max number of legal moves in a given legal position? I recall it was something like 200+, but don't know the exact number. Any ideas?
I just found a position with 218 legal moves:
Vrom it is interesting. Though, it is not a legal position - too many White pieces.
Tunatin: I think it was b3-b2 just after check :). Right?
:)
I know one with 457 legal moves, but its a secret I can't share :)
the vrom one has too many pieces to be possible
mossman500: I don't think it is possible. You can have 9 queens only. And it must be a legal position.
yea
That position wouldn't ecure in a proper game.
its legal, no?
ITS LEGAL!!! White has his initial: King (of course) Queen Bishops Knights. The 8 extra queens are from pawns.
