Figure 13 - CHESS VS. GO BOARD COMPARISON

The possible number of first moves in chess is 400 moves (20 white pieces x 20 black pieces). In Go however, there are 32,490 possible first moves. [clxxxii] The estimated number of possible board configuration in chess is 10120 . That’s the number 10 followed by 120 zeros:

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

This is a huge number. However, to put this in perspective relative to Go, Go has around 10174 possible board combinations, which looks like this: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

That’s one million trillion trillion trillion trillion more configurations than chess.
