Subject: Gulko's comment on chess and atoms of universe (a little off topic)

Author: Michael Fuhrmann

In the Gulko piece in Commentary magazine cited here recently, Gulko says:

"It has been established that the total number of possible chess games which can
develop from the starting position on the board not only exceeds the number of
atoms in the known universe, but does so by a wide margin."

Has this in fact been "established" or is this overstatement?
