Place all 16 white pieces on the board so that the number of possible moves is a maximum.
To give you a hint, in the best solution known more than 120 moves are possible !
(should you include promotions, each one counts as 4 different moves: to Q, R, B, N)
This is the best solution known, and there are 122 moves possible,
among them 24 pawn promotions (6 pawns x 4 different promotions each).
If you are interested, the maximum possible for the 8 major white pieces is 100 moves.
For the combined 16 major white and black pieces, it's 173 moves.
Surprisingly, for all 32 pieces is only 164 moves
