Hi, Given any position that can be reached in a game of chess does anybody know of a reasonable tight upper bound on the number of moves that can be played for one side. It is easy to come up with a loose bound by saying 2 rooks = max 28 moves. 2 Knights = max 16 moves. 2 Bishops = max 28 moves. 9 Queen = max 252 moves. (9*28) 1 King = max 9 moves. ---------------------------- Bound = max 333 moves. Of couse the pieces might interfere with each other making this bound way too loose. Best regards Flemming
