Those kind of positions with 200+ moves (or pseudo-legal moves) never arise in
actual games, so setting the size of move list to something less than 200 would
practically suffice, wouldn't it?

Currently I store the generated moves in a stack, so I don't have any problem
with number of moves, but that limits my options in move generation (e.g., I
have to generate all the moves at once). So I'm wondering what value I should
choose for the move list...
