Therefore, if the actual number of possible move choices per position is 38, we
would have:
1.2754556253422842143921920442494166385176356068945 e18793 elements in our tree

If the actual number of possible choices is 30, we will have:
6.8304001202291900514151594001847708539166576716429 e17571 elements in our tree

If the actual number of possible choices is a mere 20, we will have a mere:
1.1293496425039780153712783036997557011109722462872 e15477 elements in our tree

That's a lot.
