I don't believe this is known.  It might be fun to make a contest
out of this though.  Can somone post a position with a high number
of legal moves?   And the rest of us will try to better this?

The rules are:

1)  Must be a fully legal position, (no more than 9 queens for
instance.)
2)  Post in FEN.
