If it gets reduced to only 2 or 3 then possibly, but that still doesn't change
the probability. Also, it most likely will be much more than 3 moves in most
positions. In an equal position I'd be very surprised if there were only 3
non-losing moves. That would be insane and extremely unlikely. That would mean
that only 3 plans or move-orders are possible and that don't lose. Sounds like a
very different game than the one I know. I don't see how or why the balance of
the position could be so delicate or compromised.
