depends on how you define "possible", certainly not with any(or even all)
hardware existing at the current time.
a single pawnless 10 man table would take a few quadrillion bytes of
storage, about 68,000,000,000,000,000 bytes if there were no "twin" pieces,
ie. kbnrq vs kbnrq.

Multiply by another few thousand for the space needed for the full set.
