What are the odds
Sort:
Oh my. I wish I hadn't,t of asked. LOL. That is amazing. The odd,s are even higher than I thought. Thanks for the links.
it's much more than a billion to one. the first move alone has 400 possibilities, so you really don't want to even bother to think past that
So any math students out there. 64 squares on the board and 32 pieces. What are the odds of 2 games played where all the moves are exactly the same? I have played close to 300 games and sometimes the first 5 or 6 moves are smiler. But never the same? I would bet it,s a billion to 1 ?
