Can you be more specific? The document at
http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/rulesfaq.txt
does not appear to contain the word "chess".
The page at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_and_mathematics
gives an astonishing lower bound of 10^(10^48) for the number of Go
games. I'm looking for the corresponding number for Chess, but I'd be
shocked if it was lower than 10^48 (as the original statement asserts).
BTW, this is all of course deeply theoretical. The slightest bit of
tactical knowledge (e.g., don't fill your own eyes) makes the space
vastly smaller.

which did not sound credible to me. I realize that Go is many
orders of
magnitude larger than Chess, but surely not THAT much.
Read the rec.games.go Rules FAQ.
