do you think as white with each player every move player the very best moves for their to be a forced mate at the start of the game?

I think that's impossible. It might be in the middlegame or endgame, though.

i know there is a mate in something like 95, but not really sure the pieces.

Unless there's some sort of weird starting position, I don't believe 200 moves could be forced to mate

There is one with a weird starting position, that's forced mate in something like 269, though I'm not sure about that. It's something like this, though I probably didn't get it exactly right. Tablebases will probably tell you that winning Queen and pawn vs Queen are forced mates in hundreds of moves.

 


 

Interesting.
