maka dai dai shogi vs go : which has more possibilities

Maka dai dai shogi is a variant of shogu played on 19x19 board. It has 50 different pieces, all the pieces that are on the board when starting a game is equal to 96. In overall, a player must memorise 74 different movements.

considering all of them, I wanted to know, if someone among us is familiar with it, what is the number of possible games starting from move 1. for go, was it 10 to the 720th power? for chess it was 10^120? I do not recall correctly. so,share answers please.

To the best of my 'self-taught' permutation/ combinatorial, knowledge - It involves, the number of possible.. {legal}, moves - Multiplied, by the number of 'turns' {by each player}, one is referencing.

Ergo - It could be.. {not being familiar, with the specific 'shogi' sub-variant, you mentioned} - '74'..{different movements}, multiplied, by '74' again.. for both player's 'turns.'

So, as I understand it.. If there are '74' possible 'piece' movements, starting from 'move one'.. After, '4 moves, let's say - The number of 'move' possibilities, would be, '74' multiplied, by '74'.. 4 'times.' {the number-of-turns-taken}.

no, you got it wrong, you misunderstood.

74 is the number of different moves that are playable in the game by pieces. They are not the number of possible moves from 1st move,may be it is I do not know. it is like this: pieace a moves in a way like rook, piece b moves like bishop and so on. total is equal to 74 types of moving. some of them are not playable in the first move just like any piece of chess except pawns and knigts. I hope I now am clear.

I have never seen this game in really life or on the internet, thus I can even not say the number of possible 1st moves. I read on the internet, this game is very strange. when some pieces promote they actually downgrades, not upgrades. when king promotes it vecomes emperor, as long as a piece is not protected the emperor can capture any piece that is located on any square. It can go to any free square as long as it is not to be captured.

while I am looking for its math, I discovered one more variation: Tai shogi which is played on 25x25 board :)

and now I saw "taikyoku shogi" that is played on 36x36 board . What the hells exist
