Subject: Maximum number of moves

Author: Artem Pyatakov

I have an interesting puzzle that came up with while I was starting to write my
chess engine (it is related to how I will store generated moves)...

First, I read somewhere that the average number of moves in the middle-game is
about 35... Is this true?

Second (and more interesting, but less practically important) What is the
largest amount of legal moves possible from one side for ANY given position (no
matter how bizarre)?
