So perft is the number of unique positions encountered to a given depth?
Duplicate positions are not counted twice, as I understand it from your
explaination.

If it counts the number of unique chess positions, it seems like that would be
quite a task to generate the entire search tree and store it in memory, remove
duplicates, and count the nodes. How is this usually implemented?
