Subject: computer calculations of number of ways to play first 10-ply

Author: Neil Carlson

Please forgive a stranger/beginner if I am breaching any rules of etiquette or I
missed something in the archives or FAQ (I did look).

Can anyone help or suggest a source for information on the following?

Although computer chess is only effective if the programs focus on the
"sensible" moves to make in a given position, I'm trying to find out if anyone
has looked into the question of the huge numbers of ways to play a chess game -
specifically, the number of ways that the first ten ply (first 20 half-moves)
can be played; or the possible number of move combinations for a whole game
(with some kind of sensible limit - 40 or 60 moves).

I thought this might be the sort of thing that could have some significance for
computer chess, so someone might have done this or know of someone who has.

Thanks for your time and attention,

Neil
