The universe may be infinite and it is possible that there is an infinite number of atoms in the universe. 2)If you include only the possible legal positions without history of the game(you need only to know result of these positions in order to have the 32 piece tablebases) you have only something between 10^30 and 10^50 positions. I believe that the number of atoms in the universe is bigger than 10^50. I believe that the number of atoms in a sphere with a radius of one light year is bigger than 10^50. Uri
