Go up one level in this thread

It is not trivial to test by random generation of pieces. The proportion of
legal positions is influenced by the mix of pieces on the board. To get an
accurate measure you need to multiply the fractional contribution of each class
of position with the frequency of legal positions. And to find what classes of
positions that you should include is another problem. All this could be
automated. A Bayesian learning process maybe. But you would need quite some time
to get a viable result.
